Grace Eyre’s Brighton & Hove ‘Travel Buddy Project’ project helps people with learning disabilities to travel around where they live both independently and safely, by learning new skills and practising journeys on public transport.
People with learning disabilities can feel frustrated when they are reliant on other people to travel and make plans.
Being able to make a journey can be the first step to unlocking greater independence for individuals with learning disabilities.
Drama on the Bus:
The Travel Buddy Project in association with Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company present ‘Drama on the Bus’, a unique travel workshop for individuals with learning disabilities.
Drama on the bus is an interactive and exploratory workshop that allows participants to:
Communicate and speak to bus drivers.
Explore challenging travel situations, in a safe, supportive and realistic environment.
Learn new skills and information.
Drama on the Bus is designed for individuals who want to take their first steps towards independent travel or for more experienced travellers who want to refresh their existing skills.
Drama on the bus will take place 4 times throughout 2020 (may be liable to change)
Volunteering Together:
Can you spare 3 hours a week to support someone with a disability to volunteer in their community?
Volunteering Together is all about working alongside someone with a learning disability, sharing your skills and knowledge and helping to break down barriers.
‘I liked it, it was a good experience. The staff were nice and I worked hard! – Lara, volunteer
