Our mission is to facilitate access to education, employment, and training opportunities, empowering individuals to achieve their personal aspirations and goals.

Overcoming transportation barriers

We understand that rural residents often face significant challenges in accessing opportunities due to inadequate or unreliable transportation options. To help remove these obstacles, we provide:

• bus passes
• e/bike loan schemes
• community minibuses

Employment support & local collaboration

We work with local businesses to offer:

• work placements
• interview opportunities

Additionally, we engage with local youth groups to better understand the transportation barriers they face and work towards effective solutions that make employment and education more accessible.

As part of this initiative, we are prioritising youth voice, engaging with youth groups to hear their thoughts, experiences, and feedback to shape meaningful support.
