Struggling to get to work, training or interviews? We can help.

If you live outside a big town or city, it’s not always easy to take the next step. If transport is stopping you from moving forward, we’ll work with you to remove those barriers – and connect you to the right support. We offer:

• Free bus passes, e-bike loans or community minibuses
• Work placements and interview opportunities with local employers
• Coaching and advice to help you take the next step
• We work with youth groups to make sure your voice is heard
