Getting aged aunts and uncles upto church

HELP
I have a dilemma with getting infirm relatives upto the church door, changing church is not an option and we are thinking of hiring a golf buggy for a couple of hours to ferry them up and down for service. Do any of you lovely people have any ideas, I'm in Manchester and have tried local golf clubs and they don't hire them for off green use TIA

    Can you get a car to the door? If so, I would arrange for cars to drop them off. Otherwise, are wheelchairs an option?

    It might be worth asking the vicar/minister, as I'm sure this won't be the first time they've had to provide access for people with mobility issues, especially if they have regular services.

    Car access isn't an option, church has an old stone arch where cars will drop off and the path is York stone 2 flags wide or so and on an incline too, thank you for the suggestion to ask the vicar I hadn't even thought of that 😀

    I would ask the Church about their accessibility. There are surely members of the congregation that have mobility issues, so I am sure the church has a plan in place to help them get into the church.

    You can get mobility scooters that have large wheels, designed for uneven pavement, so this could be an option if you can't get a golf buggy.
