Who are we?
The Professional Drivers Foundation was formed by a group of Professional Drivers Association Trustees, Members and long time supporters.
To see what the PDA is all about click here: www.pda-uk.org
We all give our time to the Professional Drivers Association and the Professional Drivers Fondation voluntarily and also work full time within the Haulage Industry, most of us as lorry drivers.
The PDA was formed some 7 years ago and it is through the work it has done that it became clear there was a need for a Charity Foundation to work along side and try to alleviate the many problems encountered in times of illness or stress.

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;
