Make a Donation
In the future The Professional Drivers Foundation aims to be funded from within the Haulage Industry and from grants available.
In the meantime we are striving to achieve that magical £5000 which will allow us to apply for full Charitable Status. Any donation you can afford to make, however small will help us on our way to that and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that every penny will be going to help a fellow lorry driver or their family in times of trouble. Please give generously.
A Word of Thanks
The PDF would like to take this opportunity to everyone who has made a donation, however small.
It is from acorns that oak trees grow.
It was your help that enabled us to make the offer of financial help that was subsequently declined.
When a family member, and usually the breadwinner, is hospitalised at the other end of the country it can be a drain on
finances to visit them and it is the last thing anyone should have to worry about, hence the emergency fund we make
available. Thank you all so much.
Please click at the top of the page or above on the gift aid logo to make a donation, thank you.

Professional Drivers AssociationThe PDF was born through ideas put forward by a PDA member. To see what the PDA is all about have a look around the website by clicking on the above link

PDA HealthMattersThis section of the PDA Website designed is to provide information and support to drivers who have experienced any illness or condition that may affect their HGV licence. We all know what a profound affect conditions such as Diabetes, Heart Attacks, Strokes, Hypertension, Osteoporosis, Arthritis etc. can have on our ability and legal right to continue to do our jobs. Once we’ve been diagnosed it can be a very lonely place to be, not able to work for a time, and no way of finding any information as to what the future holds. The PDA Health Buddy Scheme is a way to communicate with other drivers who’ve already been through this and are happy to give help and advice about what can be done, how to get back to work. We’re asking anyone to submit their experience with any health matter and indicate whether they are prepared to have contact by email or phone with other people who would like some support. This will then be included in PDA HealthMatters for anyone to gain valuable information from, although the resulting contact will remain private. There will be more sections added as time goes on and if anyone feels they have anything to contribute or any ideas to extend this further please contact;
