Today is International Day of Charity, a chance to recognise the important role charities play in supporting people and communities.
This year feels particularly special for us at DriveAbility Scotland, as this summer we celebrated five years of helping people across Scotland explore their driving potential, maintain their independence and stay connected to the people and places that matter to them. 🚗
What started as a service operating just two days a week in Glasgow has grown considerably over the past five years, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together.
✨ Here’s what we’ve achieved so far:
✅ Over 1,500 driving and vehicle adaptation assessments completed
✅ Expanded from two days a week to a full-time service
✅ Doubled our staff team to meet growing demand
✅ Launched outreach services in Aberdeen, Inverness and Perth, bringing our services closer to people across Scotland
✅ Grown our vehicle fleet and range of adaptations, offering even more choice and flexibility
But behind every number is a person - someone hoping to return to driving after an illness or injury, exploring adaptations for the first time, or looking for ways to maintain their independence.
On this International Day of Charity, we’d like to take the opportunity to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to our fantastic team, our clients, supporters, partners and all the organisations and professionals who work alongside us! 💙
Your support, collaboration and trust have helped DriveAbility Scotland grow into the service it is today and allow us to continue reaching people across Scotland.
Because for us, being a charity is about more than providing a service. It’s about breaking down barriers, opening up possibilities and supporting people to have greater choice, confidence and independence in their everyday lives.
Here’s to the next five years and continuing to make driving and mobility more accessible across Scotland.
