Independent Travel Project

Supporting People with Disabilities to use Public Transport

• Travel Training - designed to enable people with disabilities to travel safely and independently on public transport
• Travel Buddies - are Independent Travel Project workers who deliver and support individuals receiving our services
• Information - is provided on all aspects of travel and if we don't know, we know someone who does

How much does it cost?- Initial assessment and training is free and long term support can be negotiated.

What about referrals? - contact can be made directly by an individual, or through your Social Work Department or Health Professional

What is on offer? - Travel training and support is usually on a one-to-one basis. The time and place is to suit users of our service and the organisation. Both parties work together as a partnership to produce a learning programme which will broaden horizons

How can I apply as a volunteer ? - opportunities are on offer to volunteers who wish to participate in promoting the philosophy and policies of the organisation
