DRIVE AND VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME
We can support anyone in our community through all stages of the licencing journey; Learners, Restricted & Full
The Centre will pay for courses, test fees, lessons, mentored driving and defensive driving courses. To get this support, the driver student gives volunteer time to our community.
We're big on self-realisation, success & equitable access to obtaining a drivers licence. Gaining this qualification can be life changing for individuals and their families. We want to make it easier to get jobs and for folks to stay within their communities.
We run several Learner's licence course throughout the year; at the Thames High School and also Community Learners Courses at the Centre.
