An introduction to the
Travel Buddy Scheme
Supporting People with Learning Disabilities in Wandsworth

service which provides
support for people with
Learning Disabilities to
travel on public transport
safely.
The aims are to help
those using the scheme
to learn new skills for

confidence on public
transport and build on
supporting people to
travel as independently

public transport. It creates travel opportunities from

The Travel Buddy scheme offers
ongoing travel training. It improves
social skills enabling users of the
