About This Opportunity
The Driving Lessons Grant is a funding program specifically for disabled people who are on the Motability Scheme and meet additional eligibility criteria. The grant provides up to 40 hours of funded driving lessons with a local driving instructor arranged through the AA Driving School. It is designed for individuals learning to drive for the first time who hold a provisional UK driving licence and have passed their theory test. The grant is exclusively available to those receiving means-tested benefits. For existing full licence holders who have received grant-funded changes in driving adaptations to their Scheme vehicle, the foundation may fund familiarisation lessons to help adjust to new ways of driving. The program is administered by the Motability Foundation, a registered charity that supports disabled people with their mobility needs.
