Recycling for Cycling Without Age Weymouth You can donate all your broken and unwanted jewellery to raise money for Cycling Without Age Weymouth. If you have any gold, silver, odd earrings, broken chains, costume jewellery and watches, you can recycle them at no cost to you whilst making money for Cycling Without Age Weymouth. We can recycle: • Any jewellery – gold, silver, costume jewellery, watches, broken and damaged items (like odd earrings, snapped chains or items with missing stones). • You can donate any unwanted banknotes from ANY country of any age, so all of those obsolete pre-euro notes are a perfect start! Our partners at Recycling for Good Causes will reuse and recycle the jewellery and Banknotes, giving the proceeds to Cycling Without Age Weymouth, saving precious raw materials at the same time. If you would like to send your jewellery and banknote recycling to us, simply use your own envelope or jiffy bag (No bigger than A5 in size) and post free of charge by printing out the freepost label below and attaching to your envelope. Please do not send coins or stamps to the freepost address as the postage costs will far outweigh your donation.

About the Chapter
Cycling Without Age Weymouth was launched in September 2019 and began when our first Trishaw arrived courtesy of Weymouth Golf Club.
In our First 6 months of riding we took out 215 Passengers, unfortunately Lockdown kicked in during 2020 and we only managed 188 passengers, but we secured our 2nd Trishaw thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund, since then through the kindness of local residents and various Grants we have purchased 2 more Trishaws, the 3rd Trishaw in arrived in May 2021 on Portland and was named the ” Jenny Wren” thanks to Elaine Smith who made a very generous donation and was actively involved with the Wrens for many years.
Our 4th Trishaw arrived in Bridport in September 2021 and is housed at Bridport Medical Centre.
From April 2021 -Oct 2021 we have travelled with over 600 passengers and on the 5th October 2021 we carried our 1000th passengers taking out a group from Kingsley Court Care Home.
With the help of a great team of volunteers we have built connections with local care homes, support groups in the community.
If you are keen to get involved either with the running of the charity or as a pilot, please get in contact by email to des@cyclingwithoutage.org.uk
or if your company or business is interested in sponsoring a bike or advertising , please get in contact. We are open to all suggestions to keep this service going for many years.
