Rickshaw Rides is an exciting new venture which aims to give the opportunity to members of the local community who may often be restricted in their outdoors movement to be able to feel the wind in their hair and experience the freedom they once knew. We aim to raise funds for Rickshaws which will:

• Strengthen and build community through connecting volunteers young and old , local care/nursing homes and other local groups and businesses.

• Reduce social exclusion, isolation and loneliness across the community by involving people as volunteer cyclists or as rider supporting someone else to enjoy a ride.

• Give older people the opportunity to feel the joys of cycling- the wind in their hair, the fresh air on their faces and in their lungs, the freedom of being out and about.

• Increase social participation for all across the community through providing the elderly with the opportunity to remain an active part of society and their local community.

• Build bridges between generations, connections between young and old that support and reinforce mutual trust and respect.

You can support this venture by raising awareness - help spread the news about this campaign through word of mouth by telling others who you think might be interested or able to help. You can also help by sponsoring or part sponsoring a rickshaw or donating an affordable cash amount.
