🌟 Client Story: David’s Journey to Independence 🌟

David was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 2004. As his condition progressed, he needed to explore vehicle adaptations that would allow him to continue driving safely and independently. Referred to Driveability Scotland by Motability, he attended an assessment at our outreach facility in Inverness, an experience he describes as life-changing.

✨ The impact of the assessment was profound:
“Afterward, my endorphins were through the roof. I knew I was finally going to get what I needed, and I can’t put into words how elated I felt knowing my independence was within reach again.”

💬 “The Inverness outreach facility is a Godsend,” he shared. “I spoke with people in Edinburgh, and they were saying there isn’t enough funding for more centres, so having this one is huge. It will help so many people regain their independence. I’ve already told all my doctors and occupational therapists, and everyone is excited about this opportunity. This will change lives for people in the Highlands.”

David’s story is a powerful reminder of how life changing the right support can be but, as David pointed out, many people in the Highlands faced significant barriers in accessing these vital assessments. This service is opening doors for hundreds of individuals, giving them not just mobility, but the freedom and confidence to live life on their own terms.

💡 His message to others?
“If you have the opportunity, just do it. If you want your independence, don’t hesitate, it’s absolutely worth it.”

📰 HOLD THE FRONT PAGE! 📰 We were delighted to see DriveAbility Scotland featured in THIIS Magazine following the opening of our new Glasgow headquarters - thank you for helping us share this important milestone!

Our new premises mark a significant step forward in supporting more people with disabilities across Scotland to achieve greater independence through safe and accessible driving.

The opening was attended by key stakeholders from across the sector, including representatives from Police Scotland, DVLA and Transport Scotland, alongside our valued clients.

As Scotland’s only Driving Mobility accredited centre, we provide clinically led fitness-to-drive and mobility equipment assessments, passenger access assessments and driving tuition, supporting people to access the right adapted vehicles for their needs.

Founded in 2021 and now an independent charity, we are proud to be the only service actively reaching clients in the Highlands and Islands.

Our grant-funded move, supported by the Motability Foundation, will allow us to meet growing demand, better manage our Inverness and Aberdeen outreaches, and develop further services for rural communities across Scotland.

We remain committed to working with partners and the Scottish Government to secure future funding and ensure these vital services continue to be available for those who need them most.

✨Testimonial Tuesday 🙌

Recently we had the pleasure of welcoming Brian and his wife Margo to DriveAbility Scotland for his driving assessment.

Before arriving, Brian shared that he’d been feeling a bit apprehensive about the whole process, something we know many people can relate to. But after a warm welcome from our assessment team and a clear explanation of what to expect, he quickly began to feel more at ease. 💙

Brian is a regular driver, often heading out to his local tennis and football clubs, so maintaining his independence on the road is incredibly important to him.
We’re absolutely thrilled to share that he passed his assessment with flying colours! 🚗✨

A huge congratulations, Brian, and thank you for trusting DriveAbility Scotland. Safe and happy driving!
