Leonard Cheshire Disability has launched a new scheme with LeasePlan and Toyota to subsidise the cars provided for its carer workers.

A Toyota Aygo will be offered to staff at a subsidised rate; the more hours a week they spend caring, the cheaper their cars become.

David Brennan, managing director at LeasePlan UK, said: “We were keen to set up something genuinely innovative with Leonard Cheshire Disability, so that it could provide high-quality vehicles to carers at significantly reduced rates.
