We are proud to support Cargodales enterprise in our valley - we want to see this thrive !

So...

The crowdfunder is coming to an end!

At the time of writing there are 5 days left but this will drop down to 4 in a few hours time ⏳

It is currently at 36% of the target total achieved. This equates to £1,843 - a total I am absolutely delighted with already and for which I would like to once again say a HUGE thank you to the 47 lovely people that have donated so far. I am so, so grateful for your continued support.

Some more numbers... 📊

I have been running the service again now for 8 weeks.

136 deliveries have been made in that time.

43 post office runs.

54 veg boxes.

57kg of soap.

1,770 eggs.

7 transcountinental races.

11 local businesses signed up to the service.

5 (please let's get this figure up!) individuals using me for regular personal deliveries for supermarket shops, garden centre collections, bread delivery, prescription collections, parcel pick ups, and dog food delivery.

It's been a slog - I am working so hard at this, and most of that time and effort hasn't even been on the bike! I am absolutely loving doing it again though, it really is a joy providing this service for the local community, and I'm so proud and privileged to have you back it so that I can continue to try and grow and sustain the business. Thank you again!! 🤗🫶

So, now for the final push! (pun intended...) 🚵‍♂️

Every single donation however big or small will be a massive help towards me keeping this going. I'm sure people are beginning to tire (pun not intended) of me plugging it now and I am absolutely sick to death of doing it myself! I'm really looking forward to just cracking on with making this as successful as possible, getting more people on board and repaying the faith and generosity of the wonderful community that have backed the venture by providing you with the excellent service you all deserve.

Thank you all again!

Much love,

Alex
