Get help to begin driving in the UK

There is funding available to help people become familiar with driving in the UK.

The support comes from Rural Dorset Wheels to Work (RDW2W).

The funding will pay a qualified driving instructor to give 4, 2 hour lessons to refugees who have a licence for the UK but want help to adjust to driving in different conditions, e.g. rural and on the left.

The, mostly female, driving instructors will use their own vehicle for the familiarisation training.

The guest must have a full Ukrainian licence, either automatic or manual.

The scheme is described in these documents in English and Ukrainian. Please read them carefully.
