CWAS (Cycling Without Age Scotland)
"I would say that it's one of the best days of my life." Passenger Heather
"I was so excited. I felt young and free." Resident of care home in Perth
With pioneering green-energy Trishaws, which it introduced into the country, CWAS provides free-of-charge rides in almost every part of Scotland, from the Borders to our outer islands. It does this for anyone of any age dealing with mobility challenges or living in loneliness or isolation, and especially the elderly. Through more than 80 Chapters (branches) around the country, it provides more than 1,250 of these rides every week.
CWAS also offers volunteering in a way that is absolutely unique, and benefits for our volunteer riders (aka “Pilots”) are as great as they are for our passengers: fulfilment at an amazing level, exercise, fresh air, camaraderie and richly rewarding fun. Our non-pilot support volunteers tell us that they get the same buzz. CWAS builds precious bonds, inspires and nurtures inter-generational relationships and strengthens communities. CWAS is a leading “Country Chapter” (branch) in the global Cycling Without Age organisation, currently active in 41 countries.
CWAS is a registered charity and donations are therefore extremely important to us, especially as we will always maintain our principle of rides for anyone meeting our criteria being free of charge. If you would like to support us by making a donation, we would be very grateful. There is a Donate button at the top of every page which will enable you to do that.
To get a real sense of what we’re about, why not take a look at some of our videos in the “Gallery and Videos” section?
