Website Statement

It is with immense sadness and regret that we inform you that Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) will commence a wind down programme from 11th November 2025.  

This process is expected to take 28 days to allow time for alternative placements to be found for residential clients at our Care and Rehabilitation Centre, and to honour commitments to other clients to the best extent possible.  

At the end of this period, QEF intends to file for administration.   

We have worked tirelessly over the last year to try and save the charity, exploring numerous options to improve its finances, but unfortunately there wasn’t a viable solution that met all the necessary requirements to overcome the challenging financial situation QEF faced. 

It has been our privilege to support disabled people for over 90 years, providing expert services that have changed many lives, and we are deeply saddened that it cannot continue. 

Our priorities right now are to work with funding bodies to ensure clients find suitable alternative placements and to support our remarkable staff during this difficult time.

Adaptations

We can assess and advise you on disabled driving training and adaptations. We handle a wide variety of disabled driving conditions.

We can assess and advise you on disabled driving training and adaptations. We handle a wide variety of disabled driving conditions.

A Driving Assessment is recommended for those who:

  • have a medical condition such as stroke, dementia, head injury, epilepsy or other neurological condition;
  • have psychological difficulty, physical disability or visual impairment;
  • are a provisional licence holder or are seeking a provisional licence

Cost

Please allow 3-4 hours for a standard driving assessment as this is dependant on the individual’s requirements.  For people with more complex requirements, a Hi-Tech assessment may be more appropriate which usually takes about 6 hours.

Self-referring private individuals, can access a subsidised assessment at a fee of £325 for a standard assessment and £470 for a Hi-Tech assessment.   All other enquirers, including all public and private sector organisations, should contact the centre for up-to-date prices
