About This Opportunity
The Motability Foundation provides financial support to disabled people who need assistance with the costs associated with vehicles and adaptations through the Motability Scheme. The grant helps cover advance payments for cars, vehicle adaptations such as hand controls, hoists, or swivel seats, and new adaptations needed during a lease if mobility needs change. All applications are means-tested to ensure grants go to those most in need of financial assistance. The Foundation aims to fund what is essential to help individuals make everyday journeys in the most affordable way possible, maximizing the impact of their resources. Applicants must be disabled persons or appointees on the Motability Scheme (or applying to join) and must not have ordered their vehicle before contacting the Foundation. If eligible applicants can contribute something toward the cost, they may be asked to do so. Grant recipients can have only one grant at a time, though they may apply again in the future if needs change or at the end of their lease period.
