“It has made me prove to all my friends and family that I can be independent and mature”

“It has changed my working life for the better”

“I recently acquired a job some twelve miles from home and whilst I managed to get there initially, I had difficulties. I was then introduced to the Wheels to Work scheme and these were resolved. Now thanks to the scheme I have a very great chance to stabilise my life and enjoy term full time work.“

“The Wheels to Work Derbyshire team are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them to resolve, quickly and efficiently.”

Danny lived with his father in Clipstone. Unemployed since leaving school, Danny gained an apprenticeship with a building firm based in Papplewick. He needed to get himself to work each day by 7am. This was a problem as there was no public transport at that time of day. Although his boss was pleased with him, his late arrivals on site were causing issues after just 2 weeks. He looked at sharing lifts with a colleague but this was not practical. Danny applied to Wheels to Work, was interviewed, and accepted once his reference was received. Danny now has his moped and gets to work with ease, and on time! His boss is happy with him and he is committed to completing his apprenticeship and furthering a career in the construction industry. He’s saving hard for a moped of his own and hopes to buy a 125cc bike, and return his moped to W2W to use to help another client out.
