Starting and Operating a Cycling Without Age Chapter in a Care Facility

Abstract

The McMaster Research Shop prepared this guidebook as a resource for community members who are interested in starting a Cycling Without Age (CWA) chapter in a care facility. Drawing from interviews with CWA chapters operating out of care facilities and various other literature, we've packaged together information relating to: The CWA movement, program benefits, starting a CWA chapter, establishing partnerships, finances and fundraising strategies, liability and risk management, recruiting and managing CWA volunteers, day-to-day operations, and media and publicity strategies. Although we focused on the Canadian context, we believe this information will help anyone committed to starting their own CWA chapter achieve their goal.
