**From 2[nd] April 2023 to 1[st] April 2024** 

**Charity registration number: 111882** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

We operate in Prudhoe, Northumberland, UK.  Our volunteer cycle pilots take older members of the community and those with limited mobility out on cycle rides to feel the wind in their hair!  Most rarely have the chance to enjoy an outdoor adventure otherwise.  Our special ‘Trishaws’ (three-wheel cycles with a passenger cab up front) enable passengers to experience our countryside and nature close-up and chat with passers-by. 

Cycle pilots and passengers enjoy the physical and mental well-being benefits.  Rides are comfortable, fun, fully insured and free to passengers. Our ethos is to encourage wellbeing and community through slow cycling, chatting and enabling passengers to feel the wind in their hair.   Our cycle pilots and passengers alike enjoy the physical and emotional wellbeing benefits. 

## **Financial Review** 

We have been extremely lucky to receive financial assistance from local and national organisations: 

## **Stroke North East** 

Stroke North East sadly ceased as a charity. They very kindly donated 2572.26 to us for us to provide activities from those who have had a stroke. 

## **Northumberland Lottery** 

Signing up as a good cause for the Northumberland Lottery has afforded us a steady monthly income. 

## **Crowdfunder** 

We have received donations from members of the public via the Crowdfunder platform. 

## **Amazon Smile** 

As a registered Amazon Smile charity a small percentage of a shoppers spending is donated to us if they assign us as their Amazon Smile cause.
