Latest Newsletter (7th May 2026)

A Million Acts of Hope week is a national initiative that happens between the 13th and 20th May each year, and aims to celebrate every day acts of kindness, care and connection that happen in communities across the country. The week is a chance for communities, charities and faith groups to come together and highlight the positive actions that help build strong communities.

Now there's no better community than Pedal Power, so of course we're taking part! We're holding a free community day on Saturday 16th May in our cafe and everyone is invited to drop-in and join in! See more details below and attached poster.
