Several Freewheelers members are current or former members of the Armed Services. That is not surprising as there is an obvious link between serving one's country and serving the public through voluntary service for Freewheelers - although the magnitude of the commitment differs massively!

It is inspiring to see the support that some of our members give to the Armed Services

Freewheelers volunteer Allan Roberts, who is a former Grenadier Guardsman, is helping Go Commando — a charity that supports the Royal Marines of 40 Commando in Taunton. Alland, supported by a local businessman, will be picking up some of the families of 40 Commando in a fleet of vintage cars and will be taking them to the circus at Sanders Garden World at Brent Knoll. You can make a donation to Go Commando on Allan's JustGiving page.

Several members of Freewheelers EVS will join the Ride of Respect through Wootton Bassett in April. They will use their personal bikes to carry pillion passengers — wounded service personnel who are coming up to Wootton Bassett for the day from Headley Court and want to experience the thrill of riding past the cheering crowds in the packed town centre.
