Get back on the road with Motability DVD
12/02/2007
Actress and disability rights campaigner Julie Fernandez is fronting a new DVD to help raise awareness about the Motability Scheme. It will act as a valuable source of information for health professionals, advisory groups, social services and other charities and organisations - as well as for disabled people and their families.
Most importantly, the DVD should help to raise awareness among the 1.3 million disabled people who think they can’t afford a Motability vehicle or are unaware of the Scheme.
Motability enables disabled people who receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement to obtain a new car, powered wheelchair or scooter. Already some 450,000 customers have chosen to join Motability and 97% of them say they would recommend the Scheme to their friends.
In the DVD, Julie explains how the Motability Scheme works, from joining to getting on the road. She says: "There are too many people out there that could be could be enjoying the freedom that their own transport would give them, but they don't know how easy and affordable it is. The Motability Scheme isn't meant to be a secret but not enough people seem to know about it.”
The DVD includes options for viewing with subtitles, British Sign Language and in alternative languages.
