Our next FREE online webinar is on Saturday 31st January 2026 at 10am
The holiday period brings precious time with family — but sometimes that also brings difficult realisations about a loved one’s driving abilities.
New scrapes on the car that no one can quite explain. A growing knot of worry you can’t ignore.
If you’ve found yourself quietly asking, “Is Mum still safe to drive?” or “How do we even start a conversation about her driving?” — you’re not alone.
Join our webinar, where we guide families through the WHO, WHAT, and WHEN of how to start and sustain that, often, emotive conversation around driving retirement.
You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and practical advice on what to do next — and how to do it with care.
Our guest presenters are Ed Turnhill from Community Connexions, who in Gloucestershire provide door-to-door pre-booked transport, and operate the Robin on-demand bus service.
Also Olivia Earl from Inclusion-Gloucestershire who offer travel training support to help build confidence in traveling alone on public transport.
