ON YER BIKE FOR CHARITY
A Shrewsbury business is calling for people to get on yer bike for charity.
Urban Bikes, based in Shrewsbury Market Hall, has organised a charity cycle ride, in conjunction with Cycle Shrewsbury, which takes place this Saturday [FEB 23] from 10am.
The route is a 10-mile cycle, suitable for families and absolute beginners, led by trained ride leaders.
The cost is £3 per rider, or £5 for families, with proceeds going to Omega Chatterbox – a telephone befriending service run by the charity which provides access to opportunities, information and a range of other non-clinical support, working with family care-givers, people nearing the end of life, the bereaved, socially isolated individuals, the frail and the elderly.
The Chatterbox project is a new, free, friendly telephone support service offering a listening ear, a chance to find out more about local services and help to access information and support. Omega recruits, trains and supports volunteers who understand the issues faced by carers, former carers and people living on their own.
Cyclists will meet outside the Market Hall on Saturday morning, near to the Bellstone entrance.
