We were pleased to hear from the parents of a young boy who we had heard about for the first time at our 2017 AGM the topic of which was “Celebrating Achievements”.

All the family are keen cyclists and out regularly as a family. They wished to buy a Piggyback Trike which could be attached to either mother’s bike or father’s wheelchair.    Unfortunately although we could help to an extent, the remaining cost was not achievable for them.   The parents then considered an alternative which would help and have settled for a freewheel adaptation to allow him to take his  manual wheelchair off road.

We consequently approved a grant to meet the cost of the Freewheel pro tem leaving them enough time to raise funds toward a Trike in future.
