Travel support/travel buddy

jodiscope

I am currently supporting someone who would like to learn to travel from their home (Newham) to their place of work (Central London). We have the funding from Access to Work to fund the support but are struggling to find someone who would be able to provide the travel training. 

Does anyone know of any organisations/individuals who would be able to help? Please contact me on jodi.coxill-moore@scope.org.uk. 

Many thanks,
Jodi

I know that Age UK can now provide assistance for old and disabled  people going out but I don't know if they would provide training type assistance. The age of the person you support would have to be 50 I think to qualify.
