✔ Improve Well-Being – Cycling benefits both mental and physical health, for volunteers and participants alike.

Not a Cyclist?
We still need your help.
Riding Together is more than just a charity—it’s a community creating freedom, inclusion, and joy for people of all abilities through cycling. But we can’t do it alone!
We need volunteer expertise and assistance in the following areas:
- Social media/web updates – Help spread awareness and engage with our community.
- Newsletter – Write a monthly newsletter for our cycling community.
- Photography and video – Document rides and share memorable moments.
- Ride coordination – Assist with scheduling and organising bookings.
- Transport & logistics – Help move bikes between locations.
- Cafe owners – If you’re a cafe owner and see us ride by regularly, reach out, we’d love to pop in with the riders for a break.
- Route planning and safety checks – Plan and assess new rides.
