For families, carers & professionals

Request a free trishaw ride

Rides are always free. Anyone can refer someone — you don't need to be a healthcare professional. Simply contact the hub that covers your area.

Who can make a referral? Family members, neighbours, friends, carers, GPs, social workers, occupational therapists, care home staff, community connectors, and voluntary sector workers — anyone who knows someone who would benefit from getting out and feeling the wind in their hair. Hub leaders coordinate scheduling and will be in touch to arrange a suitable time.
