On Friday, we were proud to exhibit at the Careers Without Barriers event at St Michael’s CE High School as part of National Internship Day. We met some incredible people, had meaningful conversations about independent travel, and were inspired by so many students eager to build their independence and explore new possibilities.
We’re excited about what’s ahead and proud to support the next generation of independent travellers 🟠🟠

Hello Sandwell! 👋
As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we had the honour of interviewing inspirational speaker Dan Noon about his journey to becoming an independent traveller and how he strives to inspire others through his experiences.
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a time to celebrate the skills and talents of neurodiverse individuals, help break down barriers and stereotypes, and work towards a brighter future.
Good afternoon Sandwell!

Identifying a safe place when travelling independently is one of the most important things you can do.
Having somewhere to pop in if you’re feeling overwhelmed or just need to step away from the hustle and bustle can really make a difference and help put your mind at ease.
Take a moment today to think about where your safe places are and share them in the comments below 💚💜

🌟 Disability History Month 2025 🌟
This month, we proudly celebrate Disability History Month — a time to recognise the achievements, resilience, and contributions of disabled people throughout history, and to reflect on how we can continue building a more accessible and inclusive future for everyone.
We at Sandwell ITTU believe that independence, confidence and community inclusion should be available to all. Our travel training support helps people develop the skills they need to travel safely, confidently and independently — whether that’s walking, using public transport, or planning journeys.
Together, we can help create a world where barriers are removed, voices are heard, and every journey is possible.
Let’s celebrate ability, ambition and empowerment.
