Father Christmas was using a different form of transport today. The Golden Ticket winners from the CWA Hurst and Hassocks Santa's Fun Sunday stall got taken to school on the Trishaw by the man himself...#hurstlife #hurstpierpoint #hassocks

Pictures from Hurstpierpoint Santa's Fun Sunday on 5th December. We moved people up and down the High Street and enabled some of our community to experience the day from the 'comfort' of the Trishaw. Tiff even showed the diversity of the Trishaw as a cargo bike.

“#Old #age can seem like a daunting and depressing prospect...
Even in your 40s you can think ‘oh this is me now -this is what I do' -but they show it doesn't have to be like that if you don't want it to be. You can be something new in your 70s or 80s”
A must read -inspirational

Getting to know your elderly neighbours and ensuring they are part of the community can help them live longer

This is a good habit to get into #TeachTheReach #CyclistAware

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

Do the Dutch Reach. 🚘✋👀

Simply open the car door with the hand furthest from it in order to spot approaching #cyclists. It's a change of habit that can put an end to car dooring and save lives.

Please RT to #TeachTheReach: https://t.co/3jac9omWjs

A fascinating listen, Joyce ( 90) and Joan (86) defy the stereotypes of old age

Right now, fuel poverty is affecting older people. COVID-19 has increased the problem as there can longer visit @AgeHassocks, @WSCCLibraries etc. to keep warm. Government please create an Emergency Support Fund #RightNow #NeverMoreNeeded

If you're a gardener maybe take a lead from Tracey who is helping an elderly widower transform his garden and in doing so is helping him feel less lonely and enriching her own life too.

Cycling Diversity Series - Make cycling rise for all a reality! https://t.co/48JxPZTGxi interesting article but don't forget older people. @cyclingwithoutage we know plenty of people 75 years + who love trishaw rides. Your ideas on how to get more people out on trishaws welcome!

[CWA Hurst and Hassocks @cwa_hurst]

Sad news, but thanks to Captain Sir Tom we all know we are never too old to do something new and inspire others

[Silver Sunday @SilverSundayUK]

An inspiration to so many, young and old.

RIP Captain Sir Tom Moore 🙏
