DriveAbility Scotland, 117 Brook Street, Glasgow (2026)

16/01/2026

✨ ✨ Today we’re looking back at a proud milestone for DriveAbility Scotland, the opening of our Glasgow headquarters, and the words that captured exactly why it matters.

As Andrew Swain, CEO of DriveAbility Scotland, said at the time:

“This new centre is vital for the people of Scotland as it provides more equal access to our assessment services. We are always striving to reduce travel times to our centres, for all vulnerable individuals in society, so they can begin their journey towards independent mobility more easily.”

A powerful reminder that everything we do is about access, equality and independence and making the journey to mobility easier for people across Scotland. 💙🚗

Driving Mobility

10/01/2026

A new year can be a good time to think about whether your vehicle still meets your needs. At Driveability Scotland, we support people who are experiencing changes in their health, mobility or confidence and are unsure how this affects their driving.

Many people tell us they worry driving might become difficult or that they may need to stop altogether but often there are practical options worth exploring first.

🚗 From hand controls and steering aids

♿ To left-foot accelerators or wheelchair-accessible solutions

The right vehicle adaptations can help make driving more manageable, more comfortable and less tiring, while supporting safety and confidence on the road.

Our vehicle adaptation assessments are individual and practical. We take time to understand how you drive, what you find challenging and what might help because everyone’s situation is different.

🌱 For some people, adaptations help them continue driving. For others, they open up the possibility of driving for the first time.

👉 If you’re wondering whether a vehicle adaptation assessment could be helpful for you, get in touch with the team for an initial chat on 0141 648 8470 or email info@driveabilityscotland.org.uk

🚦As we welcome 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what matters most at Driveability Scotland - supporting people to make informed and confident choices about driving and mobility.

If changes in health, injury, disability, or age have left you feeling uncertain about driving, you’re not alone. This year can be a positive opportunity to take the initiative and explore your options in a supportive and respectful environment.

Our Fitness to Drive Assessments are designed to:

✔️ Provide clear, professional guidance

✔️ Build confidence and reassurance

✔️ Explore adaptations or strategies that may support safer mobility

✔️ Help you make informed decisions about your mobility

Our friendly, specialist team will work with you at your pace, focusing on safety and independence.

Whether you’re returning to driving or simply want peace of mind, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Get in touch to learn more about our services and how we can help you start the year with confidence.

🌟 Client Story: David’s Journey to Independence 🌟

David was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 2004. As his condition progressed, he needed to explore vehicle adaptations that would allow him to continue driving safely and independently. Referred to Driveability Scotland by Motability, he attended an assessment at our outreach facility in Inverness, an experience he describes as life-changing.

✨ The impact of the assessment was profound:
“Afterward, my endorphins were through the roof. I knew I was finally going to get what I needed, and I can’t put into words how elated I felt knowing my independence was within reach again.”

💬 “The Inverness outreach facility is a Godsend,” he shared. “I spoke with people in Edinburgh, and they were saying there isn’t enough funding for more centres, so having this one is huge. It will help so many people regain their independence. I’ve already told all my doctors and occupational therapists, and everyone is excited about this opportunity. This will change lives for people in the Highlands.”

David’s story is a powerful reminder of how life changing the right support can be but, as David pointed out, many people in the Highlands faced significant barriers in accessing these vital assessments. This service is opening doors for hundreds of individuals, giving them not just mobility, but the freedom and confidence to live life on their own terms.

💡 His message to others?
“If you have the opportunity, just do it. If you want your independence, don’t hesitate, it’s absolutely worth it.”

📰 HOLD THE FRONT PAGE! 📰 We were delighted to see DriveAbility Scotland featured in THIIS Magazine following the opening of our new Glasgow headquarters - thank you for helping us share this important milestone!

Our new premises mark a significant step forward in supporting more people with disabilities across Scotland to achieve greater independence through safe and accessible driving.

The opening was attended by key stakeholders from across the sector, including representatives from Police Scotland, DVLA and Transport Scotland, alongside our valued clients.

As Scotland’s only Driving Mobility accredited centre, we provide clinically led fitness-to-drive and mobility equipment assessments, passenger access assessments and driving tuition, supporting people to access the right adapted vehicles for their needs.

Founded in 2021 and now an independent charity, we are proud to be the only service actively reaching clients in the Highlands and Islands.

Our grant-funded move, supported by the Motability Foundation, will allow us to meet growing demand, better manage our Inverness and Aberdeen outreaches, and develop further services for rural communities across Scotland.

We remain committed to working with partners and the Scottish Government to secure future funding and ensure these vital services continue to be available for those who need them most.
