Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This is my first time taking part in the St Albans Rotary Clubs St Albans Charity Cycle Ride and I am so glad to be in the 'We've HAD It' team that have been raising funds for HAD.
The Welwyn Garden City-based charity HAD (Herts Action on Disability) provide a number of services for older and disabled people throughout the county and beyond. These services are: An equipment centre where customers can browse, try and buy from a huge selection of mobility products. They can also obtain a free assessment from one of HAD's Occupational Therapists to make sure the product is right for them. A 24-hour accessible transport service, taking customers to work, medical appointments, leisure and shopping trips and holidays or anywhere they want and a driving centre providing assessments and lessons for people who want to get back on the road after a stroke, medical condition or road traffic accident.
The charity is independent and self-supporting having had its local government grant taken away in 2014. Local community fundraising has always been important, now it is vital.
