Cycling Without Age (Portsmouth) is an exciting project which aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness in Portsmouth and Hayling Island.

Our purpose is to give people who are living in isolation, or suffering with loneliness, the opportunity to partner with our fully trained and DBS-checked volunteers to take rides around Portsmouth and Hayling Island in one of our Triobike electric tricycles, experiencing the sights
and sounds of our local community.

Our team of over 60 volunteers provides safe, stimulating rides out for people seven days a week, with a capacity for more than 250 rides each month.

We have volunteers from many backgrounds, which allows us to ‘buddy up’ people with a volunteer pilot who shares some common interests, allowing lasting relationships to form and the sharing of intergenerational stories which may have otherwise been long forgotten.

Our friendly volunteers are current, competent cyclists with a strong awareness of road safety who are also able to offer a kind ear to listen and good conversation where required. We are ambassadors for the project, building lasting relationships with our passengers, and look to build strong relationships with the local public in raising awareness for the project.

In the ebb and flow of modern life, particularly in times of crisis such as COVID-19, it’s easy to become isolated from everything that you know. Family, friends, work, and social life have been affected greatly. Lockdown has had a profound effect on all of us, and for some the anxiety surrounding reintroduction post-lockdown is a significant barrier to their return to social life.

Our compassionate, friendly pilots are here to help. CWA Portsmouth is here to offer support to empower you to overcome those struggles. Whether you’re older and isolated, or face challenges with your physical and/or mental health, we can help you to reconnect with the world outside your door, and with yourself.
