Googlers Raise Funds for Mobility Trikes
One of our key objectives here at Variety Ireland is to ensure that all children, regardless of their ability, are provided with equal access to cycle a bike. This enables us to help as many children as possible, to have the same opportunity to experience the freedom of cycling.
With all the new greenways and cycling lanes being introduced across the county, this means children with mobility issues can be included in cycling activities with their family and friends. Variety Ireland’s “On Your Bike” initiative allows companies and their employees in Ireland to co-fund special trikes by cycling our exercise bikes for children with mobility issues in their local area or county. Not only does 100% of all funds raised go towards the cost of special mobility trikes, but the company staff get to meet and present the trikes to the children who will directly benefit from their efforts.
Thanks to the dedicated staff at Google Ireland who volunteered their time to take to our exercise bikes and cycle over 2,000kms in a week, they managed to raise enough money to co-fund the purchase of special mobility trikes, so that 2 children in their local area will now get the opportunity to be included in cycling activities with their friends and family. Fantastic job and thank you to all Googlers for your hard work and efforts!!
