Motorvation is a registered charity that specialises in transport for disable people and their carers, enabling wheelchair users to have more freedom and independance in all aspects of their day to day lifestyle, including social, domestic and leisure activities. In doing so, the company allows them to break ou of their isolated surroundings with increased confidence.
The company was first conceived by the late Mike Tennison MBE 35 years ago with the assistnce of Haltemprice Lions and funding from other donations. The first purchased van was initially used to transport young disabled people to the Castle Hill Hospital Disabled Unit.
After receiving his MBE for these outstanding contributisons, Mike sadly died in December 2013. However, his legacy lives ion though the company.
One feature of the charity is that the commitee is formed of both disabled and able bodied personal; the charity has no paid employees. Motorvation relies on grants and donations to continue is operation. All grants are used for the cost of renewing their vehicles and donations from uses are used for the costs of running the service (such as fuel, insurance, etc.)
If you are interested in making a contribution, or even volunteering for the charity, please contact Peter Cass on 07814 95350 or 01430 424375.
