There’s a fun way to bring freedom and independence to disabled people, just like Kathleen and her husband Graham, by taking part in the Motability Spring Raffle. Kathleen’s passion is her voluntary work as the secretary of the Elland Silver Band and in particular working with the young members teaching them to play in the band. But she is only able to do this thanks to Motability and people like you who play our raffles. Kathleen has arthritis, a back condition and has had both hips replaced. Her husband Graham is also disabled and they are no longer able to work and could never afford a car of their own. They live in a hilly area and Kathleen would never have managed to get to the band’s rehearsals, never mind to performances further afield. Kathleen approached Motability and we were able to help her with the Advance Payment for a Citroën Berlingo plus the cost of a hoist to lift an electric wheelchair into the car, thanks to the kind people who take part in our raffles which raise vital funds for our Charitable Grants. … continued Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD GBSP12-34/56-789012/3456789 0123456/7890***** Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD FAST REPLY Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Enter me into the special draw to win a luxury hamper Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD Mrs A B Sample 123 Sample Street Sampletown Sampleshire AB1 2CD 123456789 Here are some address labels, please use them to show your support for Motability.

Motability is a registered charity. The Motability Scheme enables disabled people to use their government-funded mobility allowance to lease a car, powered wheelchair or scooter. There are many people who need a more complex mobility solution to be able to join the Motability Scheme, the costs for which may not be covered by their monthly mobility allowance. In cases like these, Motability is often able to provide help with a Charitable Grant. Tha n Charitable Grants from Motability “It also means we can visit our children whenever we want and we’re both looking forward to taking trips out to our favourite places this spring, like Blackpool and Pately Bridge and the Dales. I’m having a knee replacement in January and it’s no exaggeration to say that my car is my legs!” Motability’s Charitable Grants can be provided to meet the costs of: • Advance Payments for larger vehicles (to carry a wheelchair or scooter, for example) • Car adaptations (ranging from hand controls to a hoist to safely load a heavy wheelchair) Driving lessons for disabled people (help is provided towards the cost of driving lessons in • standard or adapted vehicles with trained instructors). £15 £20 £25 helps provide a mini hoist for manual wheelchairs can help to provide wheelchair constraints for safe transportation helps provide an electric hand brake can help a disabled person learn to drive Patch size 93 x 199 mm, prints in Pantone PMS 300 only Playing the Motability Spring Raffle is easy!
