Accessing public transport allows people to become more independent and assists in helping to overcome challenges, removes barriers and provides greater access to explore the communities in which we live. Simply getting on a bus is what most of us take for granted, however for some there are various barriers and challenges to overcome. Jason wanted the confidence to travel independently, therefore with our support we engaged the services of Embrace Wigan and Leigh’s Travel Training Programme. Three weeks later and after support from a travel trainer who assisted Jason with a programme designed around Jason’s lifestyle, Jason has grown in confidence and is now using public transport independently to travel to our service. This is an outstanding achievement, well done Jason we are all proud of you. #embracewiganandleigh #wigancouncil #TheDeal
