Trustee Paul Richards
Garage owner and mechanic Paul, has maintained the Devon Freewheelers’ vehicles for many years
He goes the extra mile for the charity whenever he can; during the first Covid-19 lockdown, Paul created a micro-flat in his Honiton-based garage, staying onsite 24-hours a day to help Devon Freewheelers’ volunteers continue operating through the pandemic - keeping the charity’s vehicles on the road.
He said: “The Devon Freewheelers is a really good cause that does wonderful work.
“The charity is so important because through the blood bikes, the volunteers help save lives.
“By being a trustee, I will help wherever I can to ensure the smooth running of the charity so it can continue with its good work.”
Trustee James Robinson
James has been volunteering with the Devon Freewheelers for more than three years.
When he’s not at work in his day-to-day role as a serving Royal Marine Sergeant Major, James is a blood biker for the charity.
He actively promotes the Devon Freewheelers through fundraising opportunities within the community and business sector, while raising awareness of the charity’s free courier service.
James said: “As a trustee, my goal will be to help steer the Devon Freewheelers emergency voluntary service in a positive direction, promoting the free service, and ensuring the charity goes from strength-to-strength.
“I have been involved with the Devon Freewheelers charity for more than three years.
“I became involved with the charity because I am able to combine my two passions – I love riding bikes and I wanted to help the community.
“Being a Devon Freewheelers’ volunteer means I can make a difference by helping others.”
Trustee Wendy Charnock
It was such an honour to be asked to become a trustee of the Devon freewheelers
Having worked in the NHS for over 45 years I can appreciate how much the charity saves the NHS and what the team of volunteers give up,and I felt I wanted to give something back to the community.
Devon freewheelers is more than a service it is a family who works tirelessly to fundraise constantly to provide an exceptional service throughout the county.
