Kickstart
Transport to get YOU to work
Due to current funding we are only able to assist those in employment or those with an offer of employment.
What is Kickstart?
Kickstart is a moped loan scheme that could help you get a job by loaning you a moped to get from your home in a rural area to work and home again. You could also use it in your free time.
If you can prove to us that you have a real need for transport, we may be able to help you.
If you:-
- Live in Suffolk (Waveney, Suffolk Coastal, Mid-Suffolk, Ipswich or Babergh.
- Are aged between 16 - 65
- Have trouble accessing employment due to problems with transport then read on to find out more.
Due to funding we are currently unable to assist residents of Forest Hath or S Emundsbury.
We offer two loan options to suit your own individual circumstances.
