Our Impact

Every year in the UK approximately 2,400 children up to and including the age of eighteen are diagnosed with cancer.

It is now known that physical activity is safe, beneficial and recommended for all children and adolescents affected by cancer. It is recognised as one of the most effective ways of improving physical and psychological health and wellbeing for children being treated for cancer and beyond; reducing the impact of some of the side effects of treatment, whilst promoting independence, peer support and self-confidence.

Our lightweight bikes and specially adapted trikes provide a unique way to encourage this much needed exercise and activity. Allowing these children to get outside and get active, as well as having some much needed fun too!

In 2025 we provided 1,054 bikes to children with cancer and their families. We are extremely pleased to report that:
