The COOL Wheels Project provides programmes and opportunities for young people who are disengaged from school or disadvantaged in the community. Although the project will be diverse in its focus and approach each shares a core content and philosophy. These are directed towards the achievement of COOL UK’s aims:
- To promote responsible attitudes towards driving and road safety.
- To assist students to develop a positive self esteem through acceptance, achievement and the development of skills.
- To prevent and reduce offending behaviours.
- To help disengaged pupils become regarded as employable young citizens.
The COOL Wheels Project offers a range of fully accredited courses via ASDAN, OCR, Welsh Board, Open College Northwest, AQA and aims to engender learning in an informal setting using driving and mechanics as a youth work tool. The age range is between 14 & 19.
All our projects offer high learning support via The Prince’s Trust mentoring system and volunteers in order that the young people have the greatest chance of achieving. We also offer basic skills training alongside our programmes.
The programmes are run in consultation with the Police, Youth Offending Team and the Probation Service.
All programme content is fully risk assessed.
