Cycling to connect, empower and heal

Hi there Unfortunately we are having to close this campaign early because of a forced reduction in the scope of our project. Due to difficulties securing funds for Cycling Minds at an organisational level and a staff shortage, we have no choice but to temporarily close The Link Community Cycle Hub and with it, the Persevere to Succeed workplace training programme. However, rather than a setback we are seeing this as an evolution and chance to focus on what is really working well: the Step On(e) guided e-bike rides programme. This is a volunteer-led programme but we still need support covering the cost of storing and maintaining our fleet of bikes, as well as paying for insurance and other overheads. On closure of this campaign, your pledge will be fully reimbursed and we hope you will be able to make a pledge instead to our Justgiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/CyclingMinds to help us cover these costs. This page is set up to raise much needed funds for the rides programme only. Many thanks and happy cycling! Toby

A great interview with one of our volunteers explaining more about Cycling Minds. Thanks to Hexham TV for arranging and airing this. https://fb.watch/lb88mYaO_d/

We've had a wonderful pledge of £500 from a very kind backer and have already exceeded 30 backers in total. Still a long way to go to hit our target though so please spread the word. Thanks

It's a great achievement as this is a national award and recognises all the hard work our team of volunteers getting Cycling Minds up and riding since we started in April last year. We just need to keep the momentum going so please share our crowdfunding campaign with everyone you know. Thanks!
