More Than Just Getting from A to B
Let’s face it – transport can be one of those things that either open up your world or limit it. At Up and Away Supports, we believe every journey should be more than just a ride – it should be a stepping stone to new experiences, connections, and independence.
Why Transport Support Matters
Think about your average week. Doctor’s appointments. Shopping trips. Meeting friends. Classes or activities. Now imagine if getting to these places wasn’t just about the destination, but part of the adventure itself.
That’s where we come in.
Making Every Journey Count
Our transport support isn’t just about driving – it’s about:
- Building confidence in community navigation
- Creating opportunities for social interaction
- Learning local area knowledge
- Developing public transport skills
- Turning travel time into quality time
How We Make Transport Different
