Beartown Rickshaw

30/05/2026

What a scorcher it was this week with customers from 7 care homes and one day care centre. We’ve taken customers around Henshall Hall, Biddulph valley way, Congleton Park and the town centre. As you can see our customers were very happy. Unfortunately we had to cancel one ride this week because we had no driver so if you are interested in joining us please send a facebook message and we’ll be in touch. Full training is given and there is no obligation, just do what you want.

Oh dear 😢 our rickshaw got a puncture so we called Pooles towing and recovery who got us out of trouble. A big thank you from us all for your help.

With two glorious days of sunshine the rickshaw has been out and about with residents from Heliosa and Priesty fields care homes and a special trip on Saturday for Jenna and her carer, Petra. They all enjoyed their rides especially Mavis aged 100!

The sun is out and what a great day for a rickshaw ride. Well that’s what residents from The Laurels and Park Lane care homes thought as they enjoyed rides to Congleton park and around the Henshall Hall estate. We’re grateful to Dawn at Park Lane and her team of swimmers raising money for the Rotary swimathon. We are swimming too on Saturday and you can help us with your support at https://www.justgiving.com/page/beartown-rickshaw?utm_campaign=lc_frp_share_transaction_transactional_—_donation_received_—_nth_donation&utm_content=d3cb6f01-181c-47a7-bee1-48f58b8440f7&utm_medium=email&utm_source=postoffice&utm_term=1770931389999.

Rosie’s inaugural ride! Pilot Matt, & passengers John & Lisa from Overton House all enjoying the Spring sunshine in the park. After a cold start to the week the sun came out and so did our first customers this year from Crossroads day care. And it was the first customer ride on our new rickshaw affectionately known as Rosie (because she’s red). We’re looking forwards to many more customers enjoying the wind in their hair as we ride along.
