Judges’ comment:

“For the first time, wheelchair users will be able to travel in anyone’s car, not a specially adapted one.”

Mobility Choice is a charity supported by the Department for Transport by way of an annual grant.

Its objectives are to advance the independent mobility of disabled and older people by organising and running the annual Mobility Roadshow and similar events; by facilitating the establishment of centres where advice and guidance can be given; by acquiring equipment and resources for such centres; and by setting up driving programmes to provide advice and tuition to disabled and older people on safe driving.
