Driving lessons for young carers

Hello everyone, my name is Aiden and im from scotland. Im interested to know if anyone is familiar with any schemes or grants which would support me getting driving lessons-any help or advice is appreciated, thanks, Aiden

As a carer I’m not aware of any grants available for you. The only grants I’m aware of are through the motability scheme but you need to be a motability customer for that.

When my son was carer for his step-son I seem to recall he got some help with lessons through motability 

The carer wouldn’t have unless they were a motability customer. Full details here https://www.motabilityfoundation.org.uk/charitable-grants/access-to-mobility-grants/driving-lessons/

That would not qualify you because it’s you that wants the driving lessons and you are not the motability customer. Please read the link I posted because it says exactly what I advised.
