Wheels 2 Work County Durham

If you’re struggling to get to your job, can’t cope with the college commute or can’t afford a car, Wheels to Work can help. This moped-loan scheme aims to help people access employment, training or education that would otherwise be inaccessible due to poor public transport connections or out-of-hour work patterns.
