Cycling without age Scotland SCIO

About

Cycling Without Age Scotland (CWAS) works nationwide, providing free rides in pioneering e-bike Trishaws. These rides improve the mental and physical wellbeing of people, mainly the elderly, who face mobility challenges and/or loneliness. They bring together volunteers and beneficiaries to build strong friendships. CWAS delivers c.32,000 rides annually, enriching the lives of at least 45,000 passengers each year and of c.1,200 volunteers who are enjoying high level fulfilment in a unique way. We help volunteers to reach their potential through specialised training and employability and life skills e.g. leadership, empathy and self-confidence. Our ever-growing volunteer base includes Pilots, Co-Pilots, Co-Passengers, and administrators, across generations from teens to 80s. CWAS started with 5 Trishaws in 1 branch/Chapter in Falkirk. We now operate 150 Trishaws and 7 Wheelchair Transporters in 96 Chapters in almost every part of Scotland. CWAS enriches, enhances and extends lives.
