The driving day’s organising charity, ELY, was set up in memory of Emma Louise Young (E.L.Y.), who tragically lost her life in a road traffic collision at just 23. In ELY’s educational experience days, the charity hopes the participants can learn to be safer on the road in a fun environment and reduce the number of families that have to deal with the hurt of losing their child in a car accident.
