We offer free, chatty rickshaw ‘joy’ rides to local people who need a bit of help getting out and about.
We also work with local charities Still Good Food, Bury Drop In, Gatehouse Foodbank, Storehouse Foodbank and Abbeycroft Leisure to distribute food and essential supplies.
To request a free ride, contact us on 01284 339449, or online here. If you’d like to join us as a volunteer, apply online here.
Bury St Edmunds Rickshaw Sponsorship Menu
BSE Rickshaw is an entirely volunteer based service. We are completely reliant on donations, sponsorships and grant income. We keep our costs as low as possible, but still have to make a concerted effort to raise core cost funding.
Our rickshaws are out and about in the town Monday – Saturday throughout the year. As such, they represent excellent opportunities for sponsorship visibility. We have five rickshaws: three for passengers; one for wheelchairs; and one for our cargo rides.
We are happy to receive any amount in donation and offer the following as potential sponsorship packages. Currently, we only have space on our wheelchair bike for advertising.
