🚲 Pedals With Purpose: Cherish UK’s Commitment to Sustainable Care
At Cherish UK, we believe that small steps can lead to big changes — especially when those steps are taken on two wheels.
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, well-being, and community care, we are proud to provide complimentary bicycles to our home care staff who need a reliable way to travel to and from client visits. This initiative is more than just a transport solution — it’s a reflection of our values and vision for a healthier, greener future in care.
🌍 A Greener Way to Give Care
By offering bicycles to our team members, we’re actively reducing our environmental footprint. Every ride taken by bike instead of car helps cut down on carbon emissions, reduces congestion, and contributes to cleaner air in the communities we serve.
In the world of home care — where every visit matters — making those journeys sustainable is a powerful way to align care for others with care for the planet.
💪 Promoting Health and Well-Being
We understand that working in care can be both physically and emotionally demanding. That’s why this scheme also supports the well-being of our staff. Regular cycling isn’t just great for cardiovascular health — it also boosts mental clarity, reduces stress, and builds confidence.
We’ve seen how even a short cycle between visits gives our carers a refreshing moment of headspace, movement, and independence.
🛡️ Safety Comes First
Every Cherish cyclist receives:
-
A high-quality bicycle
-
A safety helmet
-
High-visibility clothing
-
Bike locks and lights
-
Support with safe cycling routes and tips
We’ve thought of everything so that our carers can focus on delivering the best care possible — with peace of mind along the way.
🤝 Accessibility and Equity in Action
Transport should never be a barrier to care or employment. That’s why this scheme is completely free and open to all staff members, particularly those who don’t drive. It’s about levelling the playing field, creating opportunity, and making care more accessible — for both our clients and our workforce.
🚴♀️ Leading by Example
We hope our cycling initiative inspires other care providers, businesses, and community organisations to think creatively about sustainable travel. Whether it’s a carer on a bicycle or a business shifting toward greener operations, every effort counts.
At Cherish UK, we don’t just talk about values — we live them. And sometimes, that means hopping on a bike, helmet on, ready to ride with purpose.
