Transport to get YOU to work & Training 
 
 
What is Kickstart?
 
Kickstart is a moped loan scheme that could help you get a job or     training place by loaning you a moped to get from your home in a rural area to work or college, 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
  • Are aged between 16—65
  • Have trouble accessing training, education or employment due to problems with transport then read on to find out more.
 
We offer two loan options to suit your own individual circumstances.
 
Option A The Gift
 
This option is tailored to those who are currently employed but are not able to afford the upfront costs associated with purchasing their own transport.
 
Successful applicants will be offered a moped loan for 14 weeks. Included in this will be:-
  • A new* or nearly new moped
  • MoT and road tax
  • Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
  • A brand new crash helmet
  • Security lock, gloves, jacket and waterproofs
  • Maintenance & repair
In return the user will provide:-
All fuel costs
Insurance costs
£40** per week towards Kickstart overheads
 
If all payments have been met, at the end of the 14 weeks as a reward, Kickstart will donate the moped to the user who will then become the owner.
 
Option B The Loan
 
This option is most suitable for those who are currently not employed but who are seeking training, education or employment but cannot access these due to difficulties with personal or public transport.
If accepted onto the scheme users will be loaned a moped for a period of up to 6 months.
