About us

A practical hand for the people who help others

Care2Drive is a UK initiative that helps neighbourhood heroes pass their driving test. They already turn up for neighbours, friends and family. A licence lets them get there sooner, go further, and reach more of the people who count on them.

What we do

We fund lessons, theory support and test fees

We match neighbourhood heroes with volunteer and partner driving instructors, cover the cost of lessons and tests where we can, and provide study materials so theory isn't a stumbling block.

Who we help

Neighbourhood heroes across the UK

Neighbourhood heroes and people who already give their time to others, and will cover more ground once they can drive there themselves.

How we work

Honest, careful, and small enough to listen

We're a small initiative. Every pound we raise goes towards lessons, materials and tests for neighbourhood heroes: not glossy campaigns. We tell the truth about our impact and we will never inflate a number to make ourselves look bigger.

A note on status: Care2Drive is currently a not-for-profit initiative, not a registered charity. We cannot offer Gift Aid and donations are not tax-deductible. We're transparent about this so you always know exactly what your support is doing.
