Transport

Coach and mini bus hire

Many NYCC 4Youth areas organise coaches and mini buses to transport young people from their area to and from CultureShock., this is a fantastic way of ensuring all young people get the opportunity to attend the event.

If you would like to organise a coach from your area you need to speak to your Area Team Leader, once you have your coaches booked please  inform Connecting Youth Culture of the details so we can sign post young people to yourselves if they contact us regarding transport.
