Sheffield Cycling 4 All
Sheffield Cycling 4 All is a project run by Disability Sheffield: Centre for Independent Living, a small local charity (registered charity Number 1112712).
Disability Sheffield works alongside Disabled people to promote inclusion, choice and control, encourage independent living, giving a collective voice to one of Sheffield’s lesser-heard communities and challenge negative perceptions of disability.
Sheffield Cycling 4 All has been in existence for over ten years, running inclusive cycling sessions in Hillsborough park, and has over 1000 members. We have over 32 different bikes and trikes, and ways of adapting them, so that whatever difficulties you face, we can support you to cycle.
During COVID, the people most affected by the pandemic are disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. We have been supporting our cyclists by offering a range of physical and social activities - all of which are free of charge. We have Zoom exercise classes, COVID-safe cycling in the park, and a Trike Loan scheme so people can enjoy the benefits of cycling outside of our Hillsborough park sessions.
We have been using 2 x 20ft shipping containers at the top of the park to store our cycles for the last ten years, however this area is being redeveloped into a café (which is very exciting), so we need to move to a different location in the park in December 2020.
We need funding to help relocate closer to where we run our sessions and increase our storage to 3 containers. This will enable us to continue and expand our project and increase the number of other cycling projects that we can work with and support. This will become our community space, cycle hub and storage area.
We offer our cyclists the opportunity of regular exercise with all the physical and mental health benefits that come with it. Equally important though is the sense of community and belonging that our project provides to many people. We want to continue to make a positive impact on people's lives long into the future and hope that you will help us to do so by contributing to this fundraiser.
