A CITY repair and alterations store is getting on its bike to launch a new delivery service in a bid to raise cash for Worester Community Trust.
Running throughout July and August, the pilot scheme by The Zip Yard covers the W1 to W5 postcodes.
The scheme is the brainchild of store owner Paul Meredith, a keen cyclist who clocks up an average of 200 miles a week.
Mr Meredith said: “Repairing and altering clothes extends their life and prevents them being sent to landfill so it makes perfect sense to help the planet further by cutting down on the number of short car journeys we make to deliver items to customers or for them to collect from us.”
Deliveries, which will be made on the store’s new branded bike, cost £3.50 and will help to support Worcester Community Trust’s health and wellbeing schemes.
“As someone who cycles every day, I know how much better I feel mentally and physically from taking regular exercise. That’s why we have decided to support WCT as physical exercise has a positive impact on an individual’s well-being,” added Mr Meredith.
