Working Together for Better Transport Access
This partnership brings together two purpose-led organisations committed to breaking down barriers and increasing the transport options for people living with spinal cord injuries. As part of this collaboration, SIA members will benefit from a discount on ORA’s services, and every referral will result in donations to support SIA’s vital work.
What ORA Offers?
ORA’s innovative service, which provides vehicles for hire anywhere from a few days to several months, with insurance, breakdown cover, airport delivery, and support from a trained accessibility team, will now be promoted as a trusted resource to SIA members and the wider community.
Future Plans and Outreach Activities
Through this collaboration, SIA and ORA will co-create educational resources, share expertise, and launch outreach initiatives to raise awareness of the freedom and independence that adapted and wheelchair accessible cars can provide. Plans aim to include co-branded social media campaigns, podcasts, expert-led Q&As, and thought leadership articles to help people with disabilities and their families make informed choices about their transportation options.
Voices from SIA and ORA
‘This partnership reflects SIA’s belief in the importance of accessible transport in enabling people living with spinal cord injuries to access the places and experiences that fulfill them,’ said Simon Pinnell, Business and Enterprise Manager at SIA. ‘By working with ORA, we’re able to offer our members more choices, better information, and confidence in a sector-leading accessible transport option.’
‘We’re thrilled to be joining forces with SIA,” said David Dew-Veal, CEO and Founder of ORA. ‘Our service is about more than vehicles—it’s about dignity, freedom, and enabling people to live on their terms. Partnering with SIA allows us to reach and support even more individuals who can benefit from accessible transport.’
