More information
The Motability Scheme began in 1978 and since then over 2.5 million cars, scooters and powered wheelchairs have been provided to help disabled people with their mobility needs. We administer the Government's Specialised Vehicles Fund which provides financial assistance for customers who need to travel in their wheelchairs. Motability opened up new horizons - things that were once hard to accomplish became easier for many more disabled people such as shopping, doing voluntary work, visiting friends, getting to the doctor, going swimming, giving a family member a lift or enjoying a driving holiday. For some, enhanced opportunities for further education and profitable full-time employment also became a reality for the first time.
