4Youth Travel provides a transport service in Lower Nidderdale for young people in school year 8 and above providing them with access to youth facilities and provision at Hampsthwaite Youth Club.

4Youth Travel currently consists of a return journey on a Thursday evening with pick-ups in Birstwith, Burnt Yates and Killinghall. The project is a multi-agency initiative and fully supported by Harrogate & District Strategic Partnership and is operated by NYCC 4Youth Service in partnership with the Little Red Bus Service. 

The transport has a trained driver and an experienced Youth Worker to support the young people on the minibus, escort them into the destination youth club/centre and return with them on the minibus to ensure they arrive back safely. The driver and youth worker both carry identification.

First time travelling is FREE, but the usual cost for the transport is £1 per person for a return journey with free access to the Youth Club/Centre on arrival, unless otherwise stated.

All young people using "4Youth Travel" need to be registered before travelling.

This pilot initiative currently only operates on a Thursday evening, and its success could lead to us providing more services to other venues and activities e.g. sport, on other nights.
