Coventry WorkWise
Who is it for?
WorkWise is a travel support scheme for individuals aged 16-65+ who live in Coventry and are:
- seeking employment
- unemployed
- at risk of being made redundant
- have an offer of work that they cannot take up because of transport problems.
What does it do?
WorkWise supports 50% of your travel costs for up to two interviews using public or community transport. If you are successful in securing employment, then you can receive financial assistance to pay for half your public transport costs to get to work for up to eight weeks of a new job.
Coventry Green Scheme
Who is it for?
The Coventry Green Scheme is for individuals of employable age who live in Coventry and have no transport to get to:
- full time employment
- apprenticeship
- education.
What does it do?
You will be travel assessed by an adviser and if it is found that there is no suitable public transport available, you are offered the choice of a loan or purchase of a push bike.
The bicycles are hybrids and are lighter weight than mountain bikes. Clients are issued with full safety kit, cycle routes and a highway code.
The Green Scheme is open to:
- 6th formers who need a bike to access their course
- college/university students who need travel support to access provision
- those on E2E or apprenticeships
- those accessing full or part time employment
- those accessing community training schemes.
To be eligible, you must:
- live in Coventry
- have a distance to travel which is achievable on a push bike
- have difficulties with public or private access to transport
- have no health conditions which would prevent you from using a cycle for travel.
Costs
- £30 non-refundable deposit
- A monthly payment of £20 towards the upkeep of the cycle. At the end of 12 months the bike will be transferred to your ownership. You may settle the balance of the payments at any time.
If you are interested in either of the schemes, please contact Jason Daniel on 02476 707493 or email transportsolutions@cswp.org.uk
