You can't get a driving licence in the UK until you're 17 but now, thanks to Young Driver, if you're 11 or over, you can learn to drive at one of our UK centres.
Research shows that it is a lack of driving experience - not a lack of years on the planet - that causes 1 in 5 newly qualified drivers to crash within 6 months of passing their test. Something had to be done to reduce this frightening statistic - and so we started Young Driver!

W&WCECOA has evolved over many years since the 1960s when we were a group who offered the opportunity to complete expeditions to any independent group who  required assistance. We have evolved as the Award has evolved and in 1987 we became an Operating Authority.

We are one of a very few Operating Authorities in the UK that are completely run and organised by Volunteer Staff.

Perched on its vantage point high on the South Downs ridge, Uppark commands views as far south as the English Channel. Outside, the intimate gardens are being gradually restored to their original 18th-century design, with plenty of space in the adjacent meadow to play and relax with a picnic. The nearby woodland is great for exploring and den-building.
