Pedal Power


Tomos, who’s 10, lives near Newport, south Wales with his mum and dad. He has mild cerebral palsy, epilepsy and is on the autistic spectrum. But he’s learnt


to ride a


bike, like so many children love to do enabling them to get their fi rst taste of independence, thanks to the paediatric physiotherapist at Pedal Power in Cardiff who is funded by a grant from BBC Children in Need. With Gabriela’s specialist support, children with mobility issues and other additional needs can


access and learn to ride bikes that are suited to them – whether they are trikes or recumbent bikes or those that are pedalled by hand. Tomos and his family now spend many of their holidays cycling in Europe with other friends and they have the photo albums to prove it!

adults in her life were either hopeless or cross with her. Her mum couldn’t cope with her, as well as her younger siblings, so told her to leave home. With nowhere to stay, Helen ended up at a hostel. T at’s where she fi rst met her key worker from the charity Llamau. Its trained staff
