The scheme offers free bus and Metro travel to care leavers in North Tyneside. This scheme is the first of its kind in the country and will open up more employment and education opportunities in our region. It’s been funded by the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) on behalf of the North East Joint Transport Committee.
Recipients will get a Pop smart card with an annual Network One season ticket, providing a year’s free travel across all local public transport in Tyne and Wear, to help give them the best start to adult life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A pioneering scheme which offers free bus and Metro travel to young people who have recently left local authority care has been rolled out in North Tyneside following a successful pilot.

The scheme, the first of its kind in the country, will help 112 care leavers aged 18 to 25 across North Tyneside. It is being funded by the region's Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) which is delivering major investments in the bus network on behalf of the North East Joint Transport Committee.

Recipients will get a Pop smart card with an annual Network One season ticket, providing a year's free travel across all local public transport in Tyne and Wear, to help give them the best start to adult life.

The pilot scheme started in October 2022, helping 300 care leavers in Newcastle and Gateshead make 1,200 bus journeys and 200 Metro journeys.

And it has proved a success, prompting council leaders to roll it out more widely in order to help care leavers in more local areas.

Cllr Peter Earley, cabinet member responsible for Supporting and Protecting Children at North Tyneside Council, said: "I'm delighted to see the introduction of this scheme in North Tyneside, and even more so with us being the first borough in the country to offer a scheme like this.

"As a local authority, our teams work with so many amazing young people who have real potential to go on and do fantastic things, so free travel to open up more employment or education opportunities when they leave care is exactly the kind of thing we should be promoting."

Cllr Martin Gannon, Chair of the North East Joint Transport Committee and Leader of Gateshead Council, said: "The care leavers travel scheme is a real success story and following a successful pilot we are delighted to be able to roll it out to more areas using our Bus Service Improvement Plan funding.

"We cannot overstate the difference that free transport will make to care experienced young people in our area, who are juggling the challenges of learning to live independently with the rising cost of living.

"This scheme will make it easier for them to access learning, training and work opportunities, and most importantly will help them to develop the skills to live full, thriving and independent lives as adults."

Roads Minister Richard Holden MP said: "This new scheme will help unlock opportunities for young care leavers across North Tyneside, by giving them access to free public transport and supporting them with the cost of living.

"We want everyone up and down the country to have a modern, reliable, and affordable public transport system. That is why we are providing Transport North East, on behalf of the North East Joint Transport Committee, with more than £163 million to boost its bus services."

Steve Walker, Managing Director, Stagecoach Northeast said; "As public transport operators alongside our authority colleagues we are pleased to be supporting this project via the multi modal ticket offering so these young people can get to work, education leisure and other opportunities without having the additional worries of cost at this time."

"We're delighted that partners across the borough, and the region, have joined us in the project and that their vital support is now part of what we can offer at the hub.

General Grants

Our grant rounds support children from birth up to and including 18 years of age who are vulnerable, come from disadvantaged backgrounds or are living with an illness or disability. We also provide a lifeline to many other charities, organisations and community groups, funding much-needed services and life-changing equipment.

Click here or view the map below to find out about the difference we've already made near you.
How to Apply

All applications must be made via our online system. Choose your local station below to access the application form and eligibility criteria (available at the top of the form) - please be sure to read these carefully before applying.

Our granting depends on donations from the public, and as such the application forms may not be available for all areas all of the time. We're always actively fundraising for our next grant round, so if your area isn't currently available please get in touch or check back soon.

We may also run additional grant rounds in some areas for specific types of need, so for the latest granting information or for any questions about making an application please visit your local Cash for Kids website. Details can be found on our locations page.

Cost-of-Living Grants

In response to the crisis hitting so many families right now we've launched Cost-of-Living Grants, to provide emergency essentials that support the physical and mental well-being of children who are struggling.

These could include food, clothing and household energy costs, but we'll also consider anything that helps meet children's most basic needs.
Grants are £50 per child per household, and we aim to get the funds to families as soon as possible.
Find out more

Area Covered

Grant applications can only be made to support children living in the UK, or registered charities that help children from the UK.

If you are unsure whether you can apply please contact the Cash for Kids team at info@cashforkids.uk.com.

Important Information

Meetings are dependent on the donations we receive, and as such the dates may change.

Additional funding rounds may also be made available for specific campaigns - these will be detailed on our website.

All decisions made by the board are final, and all applications will receive a response once a decision has been made at the meetings detailed above.
