L's Mentoring Driving Progam

Together We Drive is a social support program based on the needs of our participant's and the wider community who have identified they, and many like them are unable to get access to anyone to observe, support, or mentor them with any driving hours to work towards obtaining their probational driving licence.

 

This can be for a variety of reasons, and we see firsthand how not driving, and hitting roadblocks to obtaining your P's can have a major impact on a person's independence, employment opportunities, capacity for socializing and being included, and ultimately their mental health.

 

It is important to understand that our program is a mentoring support program, we are not qualified driving instructors and these are not driving lessons, they are mentoring sessions with a focus on supporting people to obtain their licence, building confidence & progression
