Help us keep the wheels turning

Bury St Edmunds Rickshaw is an entirely volunteer-run service.

We rely on donations, sponsorships and grant funding to keep our rickshaws on the road and to offer rides completely free to local people who need them.

Every contribution — big or small — helps us bring connection, joy and independence to our community.

Fundraise for us

Local groups, clubs, schools and organisations often choose BSE Rickshaw as a charity to support — and we’re always grateful.

Whether you’re hosting a coffee morning, running a raffle, or organising a community event, we’re happy to help where we can.

If your fundraiser is suitable, we can often send a rickshaw and volunteer along to bring some extra cheer and raise awareness.

Some groups also choose to simply display a collection bucket at their event — every contribution helps.

Your support truly helps people get out and about.
