Through the Essex Pedal Power partnership with the NHS in Basildon we have supported NHS staff members by giving them a bike to get to and from work as well as ongoing support to keep them riding. Today we strengthened the partnership with Mid and South Essex Foundation Trust and Southend City Council by supporting a scheme for staff members working at Southend hospital by donating 10 recycled bikes, cleaned and fixed up by our cycle mechanic and volunteers to further support, inspire and break down barriers for active travel.

In Basildon there have been devastating fires in local parks. Here is the fruit orchard in Gloucester Park, today our Ladies Ride and Inclusive Ride did their bit by giving the trees a water to try and help keep them alive. It's not much but it's better to try than let them die. We hope this encourages the park goers to take some water with them to give them some more. Until it rains we will be doing this every week to try and give them a chance. 🌳💧

Great to see some children taking to the pedals and learning to ride this summer. Thank you to the bikeability team at ECC for providing great instructors.
