Rotary Clubs Donate Specialized Tricycles to Hollinwood Academy Students
Oldham Metro and Saddleworth Rotary Clubs have joined forces to provide two specially designed tricycles to Hollinwood Academy, enabling students with autism spectrum conditions and speech, language and communication needs to participate in cycling activities.
The £1,150 cycles, known as Thereplay tracer tricycles, were delivered to the special school after both Rotary Clubs agreed to fund one each. The donation comes from money raised through the annual Wellifest Music Festival and Saddleworth Show, events jointly managed by the two clubs with local volunteers.
Representatives from both Rotary Clubs recently visited Hollinwood Academy to see a demonstration of how the specialized cycles will benefit students. The tricycles are specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of the school’s pupils, allowing all students to access cycling activities.
Hollinwood Executive Headteacher Laura Millard thanked the Rotary Clubs for their generous donations. “We are always looking for deserving local good causes to support and members felt this project was one that we could happily fund,” said Jack Wild, President of Oldham Metro Rotary. Saddleworth Rotary President Clint Elliott added: “I know both Clubs were moved to support Hollinwood and the reward can be seen in the joy the cycles have brought to the young people here today.”
