whether you'll be able to steer it (some have special levers to steer them if you have arthritis in your hands) publishing an annual report setting out our views on the progress made towards improving social mobility in the United Kingdom A small secretariat, based in Glasgow, York and London, supports the SMC. Commissioners Ryan Henson

Some shopping centres have a Shopmobility scheme, where you can borrow a wheelchair while you're shopping. This is usually free. Buying a wheelchairAsk a GP, physiotherapist or hospital staff to refer you to your local wheelchair service for an assessment. You'll need to do this before you can get an NHS wheelchair. You can use a wheelchair if you struggle to walk or you're disabled. You can go into and around many shops and buildings in a wheelchair. How to get a wheelchair At a time of growth and of new opportunities for the charity, we warmly welcome SSAC’s work on how public funds can be used to support the mobility needs of disabled people. We know that for those whose needs it meets, the Scheme has a positive impact and offers good value for money. But we also know that there are other disabled people whose mobility needs are not met by the scheme, and for whom other solutions need to be developed. The Motability Scheme: impact on the lives of disabled people

As fig 1 shows, the most common reasons cited among eligible non-customers who are aware of the scheme are that people prefer to own their own car; that they are not interested in what the scheme offers, or that they do not drive. Do note the small sample sizes here, however. Motability is a national charity which aims to enhance the lives of disabled people with their personal mobility. Our vision is that no disabled person should be disadvantaged due to poor access to transportation. We help people to enjoy the freedom and independence to work, to learn, to get to appointments and to see family and friends. We provide a range of grants to help people with a range of disabilities and we oversee the Motability Scheme (‘the Scheme’), through which some disabled people can use enhanced mobility benefits to lease a car, scooter or powered wheelchair. The Scheme is operated for us on a contract basis by Motability Operations Ltd. A personal wheelchair budget scheme has been introduced in England. Your local integrated care board (ICB) should be able to provide more information on provision in your area.You might be able to get a voucher. This allows you to pay towards the cost of a different type of wheelchair. Borrowing a wheelchair Lease costs were, on average, 44 per cent cheaper in May 2018 for Motability customers than in the wider leasing market. Around two fifths of this difference arises from the direct impact of the tax concessions from which the Scheme benefits. Three fifths is generated from factors such as effective commercial management of the Scheme, strong partnerships with maintenance and repair suppliers, and through economies of scale. Social mobility is the link between a person’s occupation or income and the occupation or income of their parents. Where there is a strong link, there is a lower level of social mobility. Where there is a weak link, there is a higher level of social mobility. Corporate information Access our information The SMC is an independent statutory body (an organisation created by an act of Parliament). In line with the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016, it is a continuation of the body previously called the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission. Responsibilities Dr Raghib Ali has a number of roles, including Senior Clinical Research Associate at the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge. His main research interests are the aetiology and prevention of non-communicable diseases and establishing prospective cohort studies in populations which have not previously been studied. He co-authored a submission to the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities in the major causes of mortality and their risk factors in the UK. Resham Kotecha

We know from customers that the scheme reduces the stress and worry of struggling to get around and improves quality of life. For example, 85 per cent of car scheme customers say that access to a car has improved their access to medical services and 77 per cent say that their health has actually improved as a result of having a car. [footnote 3] Similarly around education, 29 per cent of car scheme customers aged under 24 said that having a car had helped them to pursue their education. And while 17 per cent of disabled people report that transport difficulties are a barrier to labour market participation, [footnote 4] 39 per cent of those not retired, permanently unable to work or in full time education said that their Motability car had enabled them to get a job, progress in the labour market, or stay in work. [footnote 5] Ryan has been Chief Executive Officer at the Coalition for Global Prosperity, a think tank specialising in international development since April 2020. Prior to joining the Coalition, Ryan worked for CAFOD, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, and on human rights policy at the Ministry of Justice. Ryan serves as a Reservist in the Royal Air Force and is a founding trustee of Diversity in Development, a social mobility charity working to widen access to the international development sector. Ryan was awarded an Aspen UK Rising Leaders Fellowship 2022 and was the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Bedford at the 2019 General Election. Matthew Goodwin You can borrow a walking frame from the NHS. Speak to a GP, physiotherapist or hospital staff. You might have to pay a deposit. There are several ways you can get a wheelchair. Depending on your individual circumstances you may need to pay towards the costs. Getting an NHS wheelchair The Motability Scheme can help if you want to hire or buy an electric wheelchair. It allows some people to use their benefits to pay for a wheelchair.xxxx is xx and lives with his xxxx (now his carer) and young xxx in a ground floor flat. He fell from a balcony, resulting in paraplegia and serious brain injury. He didn’t consider the Scheme for a while as xx was severely depressed, but xx now refers to it as a lifesaver. As a family they can now manage the school run, hospital appointments and food shopping rather than relying on parents, and xxxx is even able to take short trips alone with his son. The Motability Scheme: value for money Existing customers are, however, very positive about the scheme and its impact. For example, 99 per cent of customers say that the scheme provides worry-free motoring. [footnote 8] Grants to support the mobility of disabled people It is likely that some of these preferences are driven by restrictions in scheme design but that others may be based on misunderstandings of how the scheme works. For those aware of the scheme, car dealerships are an important source of information to help potential customers understand how it works.

The types of grants available and the volumes of grants made under each programme are set out in our most recent annual report. The majority of these grants are currently related to the Scheme (for example, helping people to get the vehicle which meets their specific disability related requirements). We offer a wide range of adaptations to leased vehicles – there are currently over 500 different products, from left foot accelerators to wheelchair swivel seats, and customers have a broad choice of manufacturer. 200 of these products are offered at nil cost to the customers. Beyond this, as a charity we also offer grants to customers who need more expensive adaptations such as wheelchair swivel seats or electronic controls, either when they first lease a vehicle or part way through the lease. This is explained below. The Motability Scheme: eligible non-customers

The Committee is especially interested in why two thirds of those in receipt of enhanced mobility benefits do not use the Scheme.
