Community

We always enjoy working with the local community and love getting involved in charity fundraising events. The following examples are projects we have been involved with:

Capshard Primary School

Children from Capshard Primary School shone bright by marking Earth Hour in a unique and novel way by generating their own electricity with Andrew Bowie of PeachyKeen. SHINE BRIGHT was also marked by everyone wearing bright, sparkly clothes and odd socks, to celebrate the lives of our special children. Nearly £400 was raised and children decided proceeds will go to WWF, Moebius Trust, Downs Syndrome and Guide Dogs for the Blind.

The photograph shows Andrew with a group of upper school pupils using their pedal power to illuminate a light tower and view a DVD.

Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS)

PeachyKeen has a wonderful relationship with the Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS), Kirkcaldy Group who meet weekly in St Bryce next to Area 51. PeachyKeen annually supports the CHSS Awareness Week with group members, their fantastic carers and volunteers utilising our facilities – a truly inspiring and humbling experience.

We would definitely recommend them for your event." Karen Taylor, Partnerships & Creative Development Manager

“We would like to say a big thank you to the PeachyKeen team who visited us twice in a week. As part of our Wellbeing agenda, we had the Scalextrix Bikes to both of our sites in Bellshill and have to say a great time was had by all. It didn’t matter about fitness level or skills – this was an activity everyone could get involved in and the competition was fierce ! The team were really organised, friendly and encouraged our employees to give it a go and we will certainly be calling on them again for fun, different activities we can offer in the workplace. Thank you again from the Muller Dairy and Blowmoulding sites. “
"My company booked the PeachyKeen smoothie bikes for a Wellbeing event we were hosting in May. From start to finish, Joa was extremely friendly and helpful, responding quickly to any queries I had as well as providing helpful information about the bikes which we used to promote on our internal channels. The event itself was a great success – my colleagues absolutely loved the bikes, and the smoothies were delicious (we had lots of people going back for seconds, and thirds!). We also had some special requests on the day, and PeachyKeen were extremely accommodating and nothing was a hassle for them. Overall, a really great experience and would 100% recommend if you are looking for a fun (and healthy!) activity for any event you’re hosting." Eve Robertson, Modulr Finance
Just wanted to thank you and your Team for your efforts on behalf of CIRCLE for the Scottish Recovery Consortium Recovery Walk Scotland - Paisley 2022. The smoothie bike activity was so welcomed by those on attendance and there were so many smiles on people's faces it brought further joy and happiness to such a fantastic event. I will strongly be recommending PeachyKeen to our Service Partners. Not only the activity, but your staff team were so welcoming and really got involved in supporting the day and engaging with everyone who took part in the activity: amazing!!! Thank you so much from CIRCLE. Iain Risk, Circle
We booked Joa for our Bike Fun Day event and loved how colourful the Peachykeen stand was which helped attract people to have a go at the smoothie bike. The smoothies are actually delicious, and Joa provided all of the ingredients so that we did not have to source those. It's a great fun activity for all ages, and the team were so busy all day we completely used up all of the smoothie supplies! We will definitely book you again. Gemma Simpson, Auchterarder Community Sports & Recreation Bike Fun Day
