We help you get to work, apprenticeships or further education when transport is a struggle.
Moped hire and Bicycle scheme
Wheels 2 Work is a moped-loan and bicycle scheme which aims to help you access or sustain employment, training or education that would otherwise be inaccessible due to public transport connections or out-of-hour work patterns. The scheme will also enable you to look further afield for work. If your journey is not too far or a moped is not for you, why not apply for a bicycle. For more information click here for our moped scheme or here for our bicycle scheme.
Apply for a moped
