Cycling Without Age
The document details the 'Cycling Without Age' initiative, which promotes social interaction by allowing volunteers to take seniors on trishaw rides in Falkirk. Launched in March 2017, following a series of preparations since mid-2016, the project aims to enhance the lives of the elderly by providing them access to their surroundings. The program seeks volunteers and sustainable funding to continue its mission of inclusivity and community engagement.
