About Rickshaw Rides

About Rickshaw Rides

At Rickshaw Rides, we believe everyone deserves a little adventure, connection and joy — no matter their age or background. Based in Chorley and Leyland, our volunteer-run charity offers free rickshaw rides to residents of retirement villages, nursing homes, schools, local events, businesses and private individuals.

What started as a simple idea to brighten people’s days has grown into a heartwarming community project that brings people together, encourages conversation and helps tackle loneliness in a fun and unique way. Each ride is powered by friendly volunteers who love meeting new faces and making memories along the way.

While our rides are always free, donations are welcome and help us keep the wheels turning so we can continue spreading smiles across our local communities.
