Checking bike worthiness forms prior to hiring out. Making sure the customer is fully aware of the mechanics of the bike, either electric or manual so that they are capable of riding the bike away safely. Volunteers would also assist with getting customers to sign declaration form in relation to the road worthiness of the bike prior to hire and also the return condition liability on their part including safety advice in relation to wearing suitable clothing, a helmet and hi vis vest. All bikes would be hired with helmet and hi vis vest. As the project grows there will be further opportunities down the line to participate in a cycle mechanic course giving a recognised cycle industry qualification.

Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, life limiting genetically inherited condition with 1 in 25 people carrying the faulty gene that causes the condition. There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis. The Butterfly Trust is the leading provider of social support to the Cystic Fibrosis community of Scotland. We were founded in 2002 to provide face to face services for people with Cystic Fibrosis and their families. Our aim is that people living with Cystic Fibrosis will have access to the support they need to ensure they can benefit from optimum homecare and enjoy the best quality of life in the community. Our drivers provide transport for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis to hospital appointments. Our clients do not need any physical help getting in and out of the vehicle and our drivers use their own car. Children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis have to attend regular clinic appointments in hospitals to have their health monitored, usually every three months. Traveling in public transport poses risks of infection and waiting for transport in our typical inclement weather is undesirable because of their chronic lung condition. Our drivers provide transport from home ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. This service makes a real difference by reducing some of the pressure on families at this time. Volunteering is a fantastic way to make a difference to the life of someone else. It can also be an incredible opportunity to enhance your own life and build new skills to help your personal and career development. Our drivers provide transport for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis to hospital appointments. Mileage expenses are paid.

The intention of this project is to alleviate distress and isolation for those people who have served their country, as well as their dependents, who may now be finding it difficult to navigate their way through an increasingly complicated world. The objective is to develop a network of well trained and supported volunteers through which comradeship will be offered to all of those people who require it. The service will be needs-led, in that we aim to respond to the changing needs of our clients, rather than insisting on a resource-led 'one size fits all' service. The service that we offer might take the form of a fortnightly visit for tea and company, or a weekly session to help with a more specific issue, such as supporting the client to fill in forms and access services. Perhaps the client could benefit from more intensive, more frequent support at some times, and then be content with just a phone call at other times. In return for your time and commitment, we will provide you with training, development and comprehensive support, as well as the satisfaction of knowing that you are providing an invaluable service to people in need. I am here to manage, support and oversee the service delivery in our area and so I can promise that at no stage will you feel unsure of your role or your value.
