Moped Loan Scheme
Somerset Rural Youth Project - Moped Loan Scheme
The scheme started in 1998 with a fleet of just 6 mopeds and now has 50 in use across the county. The scheme is among the most successful of its kind in the UK and has helped over 200 young people across Somerset, addressing the issues of rural isolation. As well as arranging training, the scheme offers ongoing support to moped users with SRYP youth workers meeting regularly with the young people.
The scheme is open to all young people aged 16-25 living in rural Somerset.
