Wheels for All
People with special needs often find it quite hard to access suitable recreational and exercise facilities. Cycling is a great solution as it is fun both independently and with family and friends joining in.
Cycling Projects launched Wheels for All in 1996 and now has over 40 locations around the UK, giving disabled people the chance to cycle.
Wheels for All Centres

Wheels for All centres are then co-ordinated by constituted groups often led by care workers, physiotherapists or enthusiastic parents/family members. The focus groups will then operate a regular base of cycle activities, which can be utilised all year round by their target groups.
Through the “Wheels for All” initiative we are able to work on a one-to-one basis to improve the mobility and mental state of clients. “Wheels for All” gives people a sense of empowerment.
Wheels for All is always pleased to receive donations in kind. Tricycles and adapted cycles are checked over and refurbished by our Cycle Technicians and placed at Wheels for All centres.
A special thankyou to all those kind and generous members of the public who have donated their tricycles and special cycles - (outgrown or no longer required) and to dealers and manufacturers for their very welcome support

The cycles are now being put to very good use and providing much enjoyment to Wheels for All participants of all ages and abilities.
