Herts Ability

Herts Ability thrives on supporting people in gaining, regaining, or remaining independent. They’ve been doing this for over 60 years and consider themselves very good at it. They now have an outreach centre based in Leyton.

Their services revolve around all things driving, travel, and transport. Herts Ability has an expert team assessing driving ability and, where possible, helping drivers remain on the road safely.  Some of the people they offer driving assessments for are:

• people with disabilities, who may need adaptations
• those recovering from illness or accidents, who may want to return to driving
• older people, who want to check they are still safe to drive

Where driving is not a safe option or the individual doesn’t wish to travel by driving a car, their Hubs Mobility Advice Service is on hand to offer free advice on local, national, and international travel. They can provide accessible travel advice to help you remain independent without driving.

As a charitable organisation, Herts Ability will never overcharge or oversell products to its clients. Many of their services are free of charge, and those that are chargeable are always kept to a minimum. Their team is passionate about their work and always puts the client first.
