Out in the community and making friends along the way 🐴💛

There's never a dull moment on board - and certainly nothing average about our customers! 🐴🚌💛 Today’s highlight? A surpise visit from a four-legged friend who couldn’t resist a quick carrot snack and a friendly hello!

Every stop is a chance to connect, support, and share a smile - whether it’s helping your money go further, reducing food waste, or making new (sometimes furry!) friends. We’re more than just a bus; we’re a lifeline, a community, and a place where everyone belongs.

No two days are ever the same, and everyone is welcome on board – and that’s not just a load of pony!✨ Want to be part of these unforgettable moments? We’re looking for a Relief Cover Driver to join our team! Ready to saddle up and make a real difference? 💙👇

Building Brighter Futures, Together 🌟

Our Prevention Team recently joined forces with pastoral leads at a local secondary school, working side by side to support young people and their families. By sharing our expertise and listening to the needs of the school community, we’re finding new ways to prevent youth homelessness and create lasting change.

We’re also excited to be invited to the school’s upcoming coffee morning - an opportunity to connect, spark fresh ideas, and strengthen relationships over a cuppa! ☕

Every conversation brings us closer to a future where every young person feels safe, supported, and hopeful. Want to see how Key Prevention is making a difference? Find out more: https://ow.ly/PTos50Z6E66

📰 Last week, a major new report warned we could be at risk of a 'lost generation'

Nearly 1 million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training (NEET) - and numbers are expected to rise 👉: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy026x9jpd0o

The report highlights a lack of opportunity, support and accessible pathways for many young people.

At Key, we recognise the individual strengths and journey of every young person we support.

All the young people we work with are encouraged to explore education, employment, training and celebrate every step forward.

But progress looks different for everyone. Some young people face complex challenges that can make even small steps feel overwhelming.

This isn’t about lack of motivation - it’s about having access to the right help when its needed most. Youth homelessness, wellbeing, and opportunity are all connected.

With the right support, young people can build confidence and move towards brighter futures. Together, we can help open doors to lasting change.
