St David’s Day charity event helps raise vital funds for Pedal Power

A St David’s Day charity dinner was recently held to support the all ability cycling service, Pedal Power.

The event, which took place on Friday 28th February at Llyndir Hall Hotel, Rossett saw around 60 guests enjoy a three course meal, dancing, raffle and an auction.

Overall attendees helped raise £1,477 to keep the Pedal Power service running and to help toward the costs of regular maintenance and repair of the specially adapted bikes and trikes.

Peter Kennedy, Pedal Power officer said: “The charity is delighted with the support we got from local businesses and the community, with wonderful auction and raffle prizes donated.

“The sponsors of the evening included the West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce, MTS Physchotherpy, Refurbs and Groundwork Training. We would like to thank them all for their generous support.

“A special thank you to Chris Grice who got into the spirit of the evening by spontaneously offering 2 Shooting Day experiences as auction prizes helping to raise even more for the charity.”

Cycling 4 all is a charity that provides unique cycling opportunities for everyone and receives no Government funding and needs to raise funds to survive.

The service is based in Alyn Waters Country Park in Wrexham, and has a fleet of standard and specialist bikes. There is a traffic free cycle track around the park where customers can enjoy the benefits of cycling in a safe and secure environment.

The variety of specialist bikes and trikes help people with different abilities and health conditions to exercise, achieve goals and have fun whilst doing it.
