Activity Community Group - Brighton - Pedal People

"Our volunteer cycle pilotsride out together with elder care homes residents – so they can feel the wind in their hair!  Many elders rarely have the chance to enjoy an outdoor adventure otherwise.  Our special ‘Trishaws’ (three-wheel cycles with passenger cab up front) enable them to experience our city and nature close-up and chat with passers-by.  All riding the bikes enjoy the physical and mental well-being benefits. We maintain a consistent 50:50 balance of female/male volunteer cycle pilots.  At least 75% of our passengers are living with dementia.  Rides are comfortable, fun, fully insured and free to elders.  We are a small, local Brighton charity. We run several rides a day from elder care homes, year-round. Donations always welcome."
