Our aim is to expand on this contribution year on year; Charities include the Great North Air Ambulance, Hamsterley Trailblazers and Cystic Fibrosis.
Our Coaches are all fully qualified cycle professionals, certified first aiders and have extended DBS certification. Further to this our team includes child safeguarding staff members and our care policies are in line with those defined by a British Cycling accredited club.
