Helping Kids Move Forward

Inverloch Lions has launched of the ‘Lions Pedal Power Project’ — a new initiative providing brand-new bicycles and safety equipment to local children in the Inverloch and Wonthaggi areas who might not otherwise have access to them.

This impactful community program is established through an agreement between the Lions, the Wonthaggi Proactive Policing Unit, and Inverloch Bike Hire.

The initiative aims to foster healthy recreation, independence, and community inclusion for local children in need. The Lions Club has committed up to $4,000 in the first round of funding to purchase  bicycles and safety equipment to be delivered before Christmas this year.

Key roles in the collaboration:

• Wonthaggi Proactive Policing Unit will confidentially identify and select eligible recipients, ensuring the bikes reach the children who need them most, with assistance from local schools and welfare services.
• Inverloch Bike Hire will supply, size, and ensure the quality and safe delivery of all new bicycles and associated safety equipment.
• Inverloch Lions will coordinate funding, community donations, and ongoing program support.

While the initial funding covers several recipients, the Inverloch Lions are appealing to the community for donations to extend the program and ensure every identified child receives a bike.

Every donation goes directly toward purchasing an additional bicycle and safety kit — helping more local kids move forward.
