Mountain Trikes
Following a successful match funding bid to Public Health, Thurrock Coalition have launched a new Mountain Trike Hire Service, which offers 2 all-terrain off-road wheelchairs for hire.
The initiative is designed to promote improvement in both physical and mental wellbeing of disabled adults which we believe will assist in increasing social inclusion, participation, life expectancy as well as quality of life.
The initiative will focus upon expanding the breadth of the opportunities for activity and exercise which we currently offer disabled people, and to continue to build upon the Legacy of London 2012 as well as mobility, activity and increasing independence of Disabled People, the Trikes will increase the accessibility of Thurrock as a whole.
The Mountain Trike Hire Service is aimed at disabled people (of any impairment type) and offers the Trikes for hire, details are available from the links below:
