Skidz, which operates five training programmes across England, received £375,000 from Porsche. The money represented the legal fees awarded to the company after it campaigned against the introduction of a London £25 congestion charge on larger vehicles.
Skidz will use the three-year funding to launch the Hillingdon Motor Project at West Drayton Young People's Centre in the London borough of Hillingdon. The project, which will launch next spring, will educate 13- to 19-year-olds on road safety and help young people interested in apprenticeships.
Andy Goss, managing director of Porsche Cars GB, said: "By taking the benefits from tackling one London issue we now feel we can help tackle another, which is helping to give young people a focus and a chance to channel themselves in a positive direction."
