Transport Buddying
Transport Buddy Service
Do you lack confidence getting out and about using public and community transport? You may be eligible to register for the Transport Buddy Service. The Transport Buddy Service is for people who want to learn to travel independently using public and community transport. A Buddy (volunteer) will accompany you on a number of journeys until you are confident travelling independently. It is currently running in the North Down area and is funded by the Department for Regional Development. The service is supporting clients with a range of needs e.g. physical and sensory disabilities, mental health conditions as well as colleges wishing to offer this to students requiring this type of service.
