Volunteering with Pedal Power is an ideal way to enhance your CV, gain work experience and confidence, help disabled people and help raise awareness of cycling and its benefits for health and the environment.

All volunteers will be given induction and ongoing training and will receive support in your role as a volunteer. You will also have to undergo a CRB check. Having a criminal conviction or caution does not prevent you volunteering with Pedal Power provided it is declared but we cannot accept individuals who have been convicted of physical and/or sexual abuse or more serious crimes. Please contact our CRB Officer (Jenny Dowell) in confidence if you need to discuss this issue. For some activities a certain degree of physical fitness will be required.

Training and support will be provided for all roles

Pedal Power Volunteers should work within the Pedal Power code of conduct. Regular supervision of volunteers is in operation.

Pedal Power Project strives to give equal opportunities to all of its Volunteers but some roles may require a certain level of physical fitness and/or technical knowledge. Many Pedal Power volunteer roles can be shared, if potential Volunteers wish to do so they should first consult the Volunteer Co-ordinator.
