The only Private Benefit to arise from this includes the transfer of training qualifications to enhance driving skills for successful trainees. Our beneficiaries include people who are elderly, poor, disabled, and people with young children, isolated, community groups and also trustees and volunteers. This is demonstrated through both feedback surveys and also most recently a Social Return on Investment Study carried out by an Independent Company to specifically identify and measure the public benefits of FCT to beneficiaries.
