Lucy is 17 years old and is currently attending Preston College on a Media Course. She lives with her mum and sister in Kirkham and was really struggling to get to college and was at risk of losing her placement until her local Youth Centre told her about Wheels 2 Work. 

Lucy referred herself to the scheme by telephoning a Project Worker.  An appointment was made to visit Lucy at home and discuss Wheels 2 Work with her mum.  Lucy fulfilled the required criteria and was accepted on the scheme.  Lucy took her CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) but needed more training as she lacked confidence on the road.

Lucy has had her moped for just over 3 months now and loves the freedom and confidence her moped has given her.  Lucy says “Apart from getting me to College on time, I have been able to visit friends I haven’t seen since moving to Kirkham.  I am really grateful to Wheels 2 Work for all the help and support given.”

Lucy has decided that she would like to purchase a moped when she has completed the scheme and is currently saving up towards this.
