Independent Travel and Bede Travel Buddies
At Bede, we can help you travel more independently on foot or on buses, tubes and trains. This can save you money and help to improve your health. We will complete a travel assessment with you and make a plan to match you with a Bede Travel Buddy.
Bede’s Travel Buddies are volunteers who are recruited and specially trained by Bede’s staff team and carefully matched to each person they support. Training is tailored to the individual and every Travel Buddy attends a two-day Travel Safety and Awareness session. This includes good practice techniques, road/bus/train safety, and emergency procedures. We welcome potential Travel Buddies who have a disability themselves. Once trained and matched they can earn a wage as a Bede Travel Buddy.
To find out more about being a Bede Travel Buddy contact our Manager, Carole Brady, carolebrady@bedehouse.org.
