Mental wellbeing
We would like to buy an adaptive cycle so more people can use our club, such as disabled people and their carers who are excluded from opportunities and experiencing isolation.
About this cause
We provide cycling clubs for physical exercise, mental wellbeing and social connectivity at local parks, for people less likely to access cycling. We focus on engaging disabled people and carers, and we provide a fleet of adapted cycles and friendly instructors. One club member said: "I haven't felt anything in my leg for years because of nerve damage. Since cycling, I can feel my leg again."
How this cause brings people in the community together
This project will enable more people to access our regular club sessions at Victoria Park. Members of the club have enjoyed being able to access more physical exercise on a regular basis, improved feelings of wellbeing, having fun and making friends.
