A lengthy update to share good news and also difficult news.

Firstly, PricewaterhouseCoopers Leeds office (Twitter: @PwCLeedsNE) are undertaking a charity ride for us on Friday 18th May. We're thrilled to have been selected as part of the PwC One Firm One Day initiative #OFOD (@PwCLeedsOFOD) during Mental Health Awareness Week #MHAW2018, with 30+ riders so far committed, personal fundraiser pages feeding into the PwC Foundation: https://mydonate.bt.com/charities/pwcfoundation. Huge thanks to Gareth at PwC (Twitter: @barber_gareth) for coordinating 30-mile, 45-mile and 72-mile glorious Yorkshire routes. Thanks, too, to our Trustees who are joining the rides!

It is with a heavy heart, though, and irony in timing that I also share of the indefinite suspension of operational activities due to circumstances completely beyond our control – an inexplicable seven month delay by the Charity Commission in processing our application for CIO registration of Innercycle.

Our work has been almost entirely self-funded, by my life partner, Shirley and myself, Michael Martin. I have not had income since November 2016. In working tirelessly to bring this to fruition (bearing in mind founders may not draw salary in a charity), we must serve best interests of both charity and self-reliance. Shirley and I have committed personal savings of tens of thousands of pounds into the charity thus far, putting in place the necessary infrastructure, systems and personnel for activities last year and in readiness for projects months in the planning.

The Board and founders cannot praise our team highly enough, particularly Naomi Freireich, Anna Glowinski and especially Ellie Forgan.

Sometimes in life, a step back is necessary to move forward. We remain believers in the cause, to help people find purpose, meaning and direction through our much-needed unique provision.

We’ll still be contactable, site and social channels up, aiming to be better positioned, projects resurrected via funding and sponsor opportunities, post-registration, so we can continue together to progress our work.
Humbly in appreciation
Michael Martin, Chief Executive
Chikama Trust, operator of Innercycle

Double tap 💗 if this speaks to you!

Those who have found cycling have found something that they can use as a tool to cut out the white noise and let in the calm. In general, the cycling community are welcoming, friendly and can remember what it is like to be a beginner.... If you are a cyclist who is able to share a little bit of your love for the sport with someone who is just discovering it, we need you!

Let's Talk About Cycling and Mental Health...live from Look Mum No Hands, Old St. London

Instagram post 1642842347270369565_5983241156

Cycling can provide a physical solution for emotional struggles.
It's true! A blast on the pedals, to feel the wind, to hear your breathing and to partake in moving forward using your own momentum is extremely good for you. Anphatamines. Endorphins. Feel good vibes and all!

We want to help encourage more people who are feeling stuck to start moving forward. Starting with the bikes and then looking into other life aspects.
For more information please visit our website above.

If a mental health charity with a cycling bias is something that you or your workplace would like to help financially support please email fundraising@innercycle.org
Thank YOU!👊🚲💨💗 #cycling #cyclists #bicycle #quote #quoteotd #instaquotes #quotesofig #motvationalquotes #motivation #positive #positivethinking #mindfulness #well-being #wellness #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #positivefuture #anxiety #depression
