Free Travel Bursary Scheme launched for young people aged 14 to 25

Partners across Gloucestershire have been working together to develop ‘The One Plan’. This is a shared vision for children, young people, and families across the county. You can check it out here.

A huge part of this plan is making sure young people’s voices shape what happens. One thing that has been heard loud and clear is that travel is a big challenge. Routes can be limited, tickets are expensive, and that makes it harder to meet friends, access services, or get to school, college, or work.

That’s why the partnership is excited to share that a Free Travel Bursary Scheme is now available for young people in Gloucestershire.
We know it won’t solve everything, but it’s an important step in helping young people feel more connected and supported, and to see what difference free transport can make.

If you’re aged 14–25, you can apply for a bursary easily using the online referral form.

•    You can apply for yourself
•    A family member can apply for you
•    Or a professional (like a youth worker or teacher) can make a referral

We want as many young people as possible to benefit so please help spread the word! Please note, you may only apply twice for this bursary.
