Flying Scholarships for Disabled People (FSDP) change the lives of disabled people by inspiring them, building their confidence, self-esteem and aspirations through life-changing aviation experience including learning to fly. The charity offers scholarships to disabled people with a range of disabilities including Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Paraplegia and Amputation. Some of their scholars are born with their conditions and others have them as a result of an accident or contracting a disease.

The £1,000 donation from Ecclesiastical will help provide a scholarship for a disabled person to learn to fly.  For all of FSDP’s scholars, being awarded a scholarship is a life changing experience.  They speak of the confidence and self-belief it has given them and for many this is translated into starting new careers, new relationships, and taking on further challenges.
