Wheels for All promotes inclusive cycling through successful community engagement programmes that allow people to cycle regularly. Our Volunteers bring our cycling programmes to life, they make sure everyone feels included, they inspire others, they increase confidence, they maintain bikes and make sure that cycling is accessible to everyone.
From meeting/greeting participants, leading elements of the activity, providing encouragement, helping to move equipment to/from storage, and assisting to check working order of cycles, your support will make a huge difference to our participants and carers who attend our inclusive cycling sessions. Training is provided to all Macmillan Solutions Volunteers, with other opportunities to attend and participate in external training where relevant.
