Accessible Cycle Rides

Year-round wind-in-hair wellbeing

Pedal People offers accessible cycle rides and wind-in-hair wellbeing for elders and people living with

disability or health challenges. Uniquely, our charity trains carers and volunteers to pilot rides, enabling important connections with participants and access to enjoy the seafront and green spaces throughout our city. View gallery of our cycles in action

Invigorating, fun, uplifting and (often only) outdoor activity via 2 different services:

Elder Care Rides: Weekly schedule, bookable through care providers. These cycles are piloted by our team of 44 volunteers.
All-ages Accessible Rides from our seafront Hub: All-ages and abilities. For this service we train carers, friends, family to pilot. Variety of pedal/non-pedal/electric assist trikes available.

Unique attributes:

50% Women cycle pilot volunteers and Charity Board ( women under-represented in cycling in UK ).
Open 12 months a year. Seafront and city location enabling participation in /around own community.
Participants enjoy between 6-20Km taking in parks, sea and even allotment adventuring.

Beneficiaries

People in/living with care, who rarely or never go outside otherwise (40Km radius of Brighton).
Disabled people and people experiencing health challenges.
People with Special Educational Needs.
Carers, families, friends.

Benefits

Enable all ages and abilities access to stimulating and outdoor activity.
Reduce isolation and increase independence and confidence.
Improve health, wellbeing and quality of life e.g. Speech motivation, movement and motor skills.

Structure:

Trustee board : 5 trustees including finance committee of min of 2. Consistent 50% women board plus min 50% women volunteer cycle pilots. www.pedalpeople.org.uk/team

Advisory group : Family members, carers and participant riders. Ages 21- 60+

This is their choice as an option instead of trustee. This is because all have high commitments to caring, rehabilitation, physio and other medical appointments and a higher need to closely manage health conditions.

Accessible Cycle Hub participants respond via the auto survey sent after each ride as well as via photos.
80% of trustees are volunteer cycle pilots in our charity team.
1 trustee has lived experience of disability and chronic illness.
75% Trustees have lived experience as carers.
Annual care home and cycle pilot surveys. Anonymous, online and results shared with all participants and team.

Achievements

Our cycles are out back-to-back and 12 months a year. All cycles community funded and fully used.
Waitlist of 168 people for our newer all-ages Accessible Cycle Service cleared - with all enabled to participate. It has since begun to grow again weekly but we have increased ride slots by 50% in the last year and employed a ‘Ride Enabler’ at our Hub base to achieve this.
45 trained and supported volunteer cycle pilots on our Elder Care Service. Consistent min. 50% women.
100% positive feedback from Care providers, volunteers and ride participants in our annual anonymous, online survey. 100% care providers responded for Elder Care Service and 100% of All-Ages Accessible Service (as collected through ride booking system online).
Successfully took delivery of 2 sea containers as our Accessible Cycle Hub base. Opened Feb 2022 with a launch party in May attended by 80 people including: Ride participants, local councillors and supporters. This was despite the continued limitations of covid-distancing needing to be in place which were worked around safely at our outdoor base. Our new bas is highly visible, accessible base, prime seafront community location, enabling wider participation of all ages, families and carers of disabled people. A huge success already after just 7 months in place, with 16% of participants in first 6 months attending as a result of ‘passing the base and discovering us’ highlighting the continued need to reach more people living with disabilities and health challenges across the city. 1 in 20 people in Brighton are living with disabilities. We have had an average of 5 new participants per week who then attend weekly.

Finance Report:

Accounts for the year ended 30[th] September 2022 have been submitted for independent assessment. The Charity can report a most progressive year in a very testing economic climate. A year of financial challenge without a main grant funder and one where our new, UK flagship Accessible Cycle Hub on Madeira Drive in Brighton commenced operation in February.

A combination of energetic fundraising and careful cost management has enabled the Charity to successfully complete a fifth year of operation. Particular thanks go to Brighton and Hove Council for their support with the Hub of an exceptional capital grant as well as to all our funders with 13 grant making trusts, over 30 large donors and a significant increase in individual donations.

The Charity continues to seek a main, multi-year funder going into this 22/23 financial year for around 50% of the annual costs with the rest to come from community and other grant giving trusts.
