Vibrant Volunteers Page

Welcome Volunteers,

This is a Private page for all Cycling Without Age Sorrento volunteers. 

All volunteer contact details are here. If phone numbers or email addresses have changed, please notify Alanagh via email on, alanagh@motionbytheocean.org.au

Lastly, if you believe there are areas where further training is needed or certain prompts that require better reinforcement within the team, please let me know.

Volunteers contact list below: 

Please find attached our updated Operations Manual, along with additional prompts to help ensure your Trishaw rides are both successful and safe.
 

The purpose of this manual is to outline the responsibilities of pilots, helping to create a safe and memorable experience for our passengers. It also covers the operation and maintenance of the trishaws, the management of our storage shed, and communication within the group.

We ask that you take the time to read through the manual carefully and ensure you fully understand all the points outlined. Even if you’ve been a pilot for some time, it’s important to review this document to stay informed of any recent changes you might not be aware of.

Please note that this is an active document and may change periodically. Whenever updates are made, we will notify you via our group chat, along with a link to view the latest version.
