Community Driving Projects

Residents standing around car Residents with driving instructor

Since 2000, as part of Chevin's investment in its communities and to support residents into work or training, we have co-ordinated several community driving projects.  The model is based around car driving skills and so far 151 young people aged 17-25 have taken part.

  • Alex, our first trainee, came from Fitzwilliam village near Pontefract, West Yorkshire and obtained his first job at TESCO a few weeks after his training started because he was able to use his new skills to train as a fork lift driver. 
  • Emily, of Ings Estate, East Hull is our newest trainee and works at Castle Hill Hospital. She currently catches four buses a day travelling between work and looking after her young family, so driving skills will help a great deal.

Driving School partnerships have been developed in:

  • Fitzwilliam near Pontefract
  • Easingwold near York
  • Preston Road estate in Hull
  • Ings estate in Hull
  • Harrogate
  • Hemsworth near Pontefract 
  • Chapeltown in Leeds

The partnerships have all had membership from the local community, local Police, and other Registered Social Landlords and housing providers.

If you are interested in finding out more about our driving projects please contact our Community Development Officer, Glenn Burton on 01924 831715 or  g.burton@chevinha.co.uk .
