Volunteer with Community Trikes at the Grassroots Trust Velodrome!
If you love a good chat, enjoy being outside, and think helping someone pedal their way to confidence sounds like a great way to spend your time — we’ve got just the role for you.

Join our Community Trikes crew — a relaxed, feel-good cycling programme for people of all ages and abilities. Our awesome trikes are designed for those who:

  • Are new to cycling or getting back into it
  • Live with limited mobility or a disability
  • Are recovering from illness or injury
  • Just want to get moving, feel good, and meet lovely people

Here’s how you’ll be part of the ride:

  • Walk (or wheel!) alongside participants as they cruise around the track
  • Help with set-up, helmets, and a safe riding space
  • Be the cheerful voice cheering them on
  • Share in those “I didn’t think I could do this!” moments

You don’t need to be a cyclist (or even particularly sporty). If you’ve got a warm attitude, some free time, and enjoy seeing others succeed, we’ll show you the ropes.

You’ll enjoy this role if you:

  • Like moving around but don’t want anything too hard
  • Enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories
  • Want to do something good with your free time
  • Like being part of a team and feeling useful
  • Enjoy a good chat and a relaxed, fun atmosphere
  • Want to support people to do something they didn’t think they could

Requirements:

  • A friendly and patient attitude — you’ll be encouraging riders learning new skills
  • Able to stand, walk, or move around for about 2-3 hours during sessions
  • Willingness to learn and follow safety guidelines (training provided)
  • Reliable and able to commit to scheduled shifts (flexible options available)
  • Comfortable working with people of all ages and abilities
  • Minimum age 16 years
  • No prior cycling or volunteer experience needed!

A Ministry of Justice background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

  • 2-3 hours during sessions
