Young car insurance policyholders in London are benefiting from a new training centre, which opened this week, funded by the elite motor manufacturer Porsche.
The SKIDZ project in Hillingdon aims to enable hundreds of young people across the borough to develop their passion for vehicle maintenance and safer road use as drivers, riders or pedestrians.
Based at West Drayton Young People’s Centre, demand for the courses is already growing, with more than 120 students expected to enrol this year.
Steve Godfrey, director of the initiative, said: “We are passionate about teaching young people about motor vehicle maintenance and when Porsche approached us with some generous funding, Hillingdon was the obvious choice to develop with the SKIDZ project.”
Courses give young people aged 13 to 19 a chance to gain vocational skills in an adult work-style environment and improve their future opportunities.
Meanwhile, driving workshops offered to help motorists caught speeding in Wiltshire increase their awareness of road safety will soon increase in price from £20 to £80 ? the first such change since 2006.
