Did you know about this scheme? Free Travel Bursary for Young People in Gloucestershire.
As part of The One Plan from Gloucestershire County Council young people have highlighted that travel can be a significant challenge for them. Limited routes and cost of tickets can make it hard for young people to meet friends, access services or travel to school, work and college.
A Free Travel Bursary Scheme is now available to young people across Gloucestershire.
The bursary aims to help young people feel more connected and supported by reducing some of the barriers that travel costs can create. It is also an opportunity to understand the difference that access to free transport can make to young people’s lives.
Who can apply?
Young people aged 14–25 who live in Gloucestershire can apply for a travel bursary.
Applications can be made in several ways:
A young person can apply for themselves.
A family member can apply on their behalf.
A professional, such as a youth worker or teacher, can make a referral.
Applications can be made easily using the online referral form.
The scheme is intended to support as many eligible young people as possible, so please share far and wide!
For further information or questions, please contact getinvolved@youngglos.org.uk.
