The Daisy Daisy project is run by Warrington Borough Council and funded by the Communities for Health fund. It enables people who would not normally be able to cycle to use specially adapted cycles, where necessary, to take part in activities. The pilot project focused on: people with mental health problems, people aged over 65. Over the pilot’s 11 weeks, 49 people took part in 66 sessions. There were 51 attendances from people who had a mental health problem and 165 from over-65s. Questionnaires were distributed to all participants at the start and end of the programme. These were to assess the impact of the project on their quality of life and fitness. All participants completed questionnaires.
