Fundraising

The club needs to raise about £7,000 a year just to keep going. We do this through sponsored rides, shopping centre collections and applying for grants. We have also been supported by local organisations – see the bottom of this page.

Club tops – With your name on our club tops, your business will be seen from Southport to Hebden Bridge and Burnley to Delamere Forest. Each Sunday, up to 10 tandems travelling in a group, make an eye catching and memorable sight. It’s a great opportunity for you to highlight your corporate social responsibility.

Why do we need to raise so much each year?

We pay for the tandems to be cleaned and maintained to a very high standard, every time they are used. This reduces the wear and tear but parts still need replacing. We also have a programme of improvements to the tandems – for example, we have recently improved the gearing on all the tandems and fitted V-brakes, which offer better braking.

Other costs include insurance, heating costs for the workshop (to dry out the tandems and keep them in tip-top condition), stationery and general running costs.

We do ask club members to buy the club kit and to pay for Rider/bike cyclist insurance.

Thank you
