Raising Money For Elderly Bike Rides - Blackpool Fylde Coast

Imagine the feeling of fresh air on your face, the joy of reconnecting with nature, and the warmth of shared stories—all from the comfort of a special bike ride.

Many people in our community can no longer get out and about on their own, but with your help, we can change that!

What Are We Doing?

We’re raising funds to purchase a Trishaw, a specially designed bike that allows volunteer "pilots" to take older people and those with reduced mobility on free rides around Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. This simple yet powerful idea will bring joy, connection, and freedom to those who need it most.

How Will We Do It?

✨ Partnering with Fylde Coast Care Homes to connect with residents who would love a ride.

✨ Engaging the Blackpool community to recruit volunteers to pedal and share the experience.

✨ Creating a safe, welcoming, and fun way for people of all ages to connect.

✨ Joining with Cycling Without Age England & Wales to become part of a growing Worldwide movement created in Copenhagen in 2012.

Why Does It Matter?

Helps older people and those with reduced mobility to feel part of their community again while enjoying the great outdoors.

Encourages people from all walks of life to come together and support the older generation.

‍♀️ Inspires a spirit of volunteering and well-being for the whole community.
