This is for people who enjoy working with young people and would like to help a young person to develop their independence.
Bristol City Councils Home to School Travel Team are looking for a group of volunteers who may be willing to train as travelling mentors / buddies to support independent travel for young people aged 13+ at this difficult time.
This could for example be as a walking buddy, providing support travelling on a bus or train and may involve some trips to and from school. They may also help us going into schools to offer support.
Anyone volunteering would need to have an up to date Enhanced DBS, and be happy to work with young people with special educational needs. If you haven’t got this, we could set that up for you.
If you are interested in helping us at this time, please contact us.
