Life without a Car workshops
For many people, driving is a means of independence, social connection to family and friends and access to essential services. The thought of not being able to drive fills many of us with dread.
We deliver 2-hour workshops that enable you to plan and explore alternative transport options to enable you to overcome the feelings associated with stopping driving and enable you to maintain a social and active lifestyle.
We want you to keep enjoying shopping, getting outdoors, visiting friends, attending appointments, and going on holiday despite no longer driving. Adjusting to life without a car doesn’t mean losing independence and freedom.
We run 2-hour workshops to groups. If your group would like a workshop phone us on 06 355 2832 to book. If there is sufficient interest we will run Life without a Car workshops at our office.
