Greenview has donated a new ICE Trike to local charity Brain Injury Matters (NI) to mark  Brain Injury Week (16th – 22nd May. The addition of this new ICE-Trike will significantly increase the number of participants that are now able to take part in Brain Injury Matters’ Pedal Power initiative.

Earlier this year, Greenview pledged its support for Brain Injury Matters, announcing it as its Charity of the Year for 2022.  Since then, the business has been fundraising for the charity which supports, promotes and empowers all those affected by Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).

Brain Injury Matters (NI) deliver a range of innovative programmes and initiatives led by a diverse team of clinicians. During Action for Brain Injury Week 2022, Brain Injury Matters (NI) is raising awareness and understanding of what can be for many brain injury survivors, a hidden disability.

Brain Injury Matters’ Pedal Power initiative runs every Friday and helps to develop participants’ motor skills including coordination, endurance and strength. The project gives participants the opportunity to interact and socialise along local Greenways, whilst also gaining with the sensory and psychological benefits of cycling outdoors.

Speaking on Greenview’s donation to the charity, Jonathan McCambley, Associate Director, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration with Greenview adds: “Following consultations with our staff and Senior Management Team, Brain Injury Matters was selected as our charity partner for 2022, and since then, we’ve learnt so much more about the organisation’s invaluable work with people who have an acquired brain injury.

As a socially responsible business, we want to support initiatives close to our employees’ hearts that really make a difference to local communities. Each ICE trike costs over £4,000.00 however it is a small price to pay when you see the joy on the participants faces. Pedal Power is a great initiative allowing participants to rekindle their enjoyment of the outdoors.

The ICE trike itself is a very versatile piece of equipment with modern componentry that you would find on most top of the range road bicycles. It has various methods of adjustment allowing each participant to have a safe, comfortable, and more importantly, enjoyable ride.

Pedal Power has been shortlisted in the Disability Category for this year’s Charity Awards, the most prestigious awards scheme in the charity sector. We’re delighted that our ICE trike donation will help support the continued development of the Pedal Power project.”

An acronym for Inspired Cycling Engineering, the ICE Recumbent Trike places the rider in a reclining position, which makes balance easier. With this latest donation, there are now 3 ICE Trikes and 1 side by side trike in the Pedal Power cycling fleet.

Treasa Rice, Engagement Manager with Brain Injury Matters adds: “Pedal Power was developed by Brain injury Matters back in 2019 as research highlighted the notable benefits of exercise after brain injury. Since launching Pedal Power, we’ve been inundated with referrals from adults living with a brain injury who want to join the weekly cycling sessions, but until now, we simply couldn’t provide the opportunities for everyone due to a lack of appropriate bikes.

“We’re so delighted, that on Action for Brain Injury Week, we’re able to develop our services, enabling even more adults living with an acquired brain injury to rediscover their love of cycling and the great outdoors; enabling them to live beyond their acquired brain injury.” 

Throughout 2022, Greenview will be working to support Brain Injury Matters (NI) through fundraising and employee initiatives.

Greenview has committed to raising £4,000 for the purchase of an additional ICE-Trike for Brain Injury Matters’ Pedal Power initiative that runs every Friday.

Brain Injury Matters (NI) is a charity which supports, promotes and empowers all those affected by Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) through a range of innovative programmes and initiatives led by a diverse team of clinicians, to help those affected by ABI become more independent, achieve their goals and help them adjust to life with brain injury.

An acronym for Inspired Cycling Engineering, the ICE Recumbent Trike places the rider in a reclining position, which makes balance easier, and by adding another bicycle to the initiative, Brain Injury Matters will be able to significantly increase the number of participants that can benefit from the charity’s Pedal Power initiative.

Participants of Pedal Power benefit from interacting with their peers, the sensory benefits of cycling outdoors, and the initiative also develops participants’ coordination, endurance and strength. Over the months ahead, the 300-strong Greenview team will raise funds to purchase the unique ICE-Trike. Brain Injury Matters will be able to significantly increase the number of participants that can benefit from the charity’s Pedal Power initiative.

“As a socially responsible business, Corporate Social Responsibility is at the core of the Greenview business ethos.”

“The nominations for our first annual charity were proposed by our employees, enabling us to support a cause close to our employees’ hearts, and today, we’re delighted to announce our support for local charity, Brain Injury Matters. We hope our contributions will really make a difference to support children, young people and adults affected by brain injury.” explains Michael Burke, CEO, Greenview.

Greenview asked its employees to nominate deserving local charities. Brain Injury Matters was nominated by team member, Khadine Benkirane-Long, who has witnessed first-hand the amazing work of this charity when her mother suffered from a sudden acquired brain injury.

Treasa Rice, Engagement Manager with Brain Injury Matters adds: “It’s through corporate partnerships, such as this commitment by Greenview, that we can promote our work across Northern Ireland, delivering increased services to those who are impacted by a brain injury which can be a life altering condition with significant physical, psychological, and emotional consequences.”

Treasa continues: “Our Pedal Power participants enjoy the physical benefits of exercise but they can also receive a boost to their mental wellbeing from socialising with their friends on a weekly basis.   A new group is opened up for the participants and a sense of belonging emerges.  For them, the chats and brunch in the café afterwards are as important as enjoying the cycling along the local greenways and Victoria Park.”

“Thanks to Greenview’s fund, we can now plan for expanding our cycling fleet, which will enable us to offer Pedal Power to even more adults living with an acquired brain injury throughout Northern Ireland”.

Throughout 2022, Greenview will be working to support Brain Injury Matters (NI) through fundraising and employee initiatives.

Greenview employees have donated generously for local charities and foodbanks, recognising the impact that working together to make a difference can have on local communities, particularly when household budgets are stretched over the winter months to cover costs of heating, food and Christmas presents.

We are delighted to have made donations to Lisburn foodbank, Dundonald foodbank, Cash for Kids ‘Mission Christmas’ presents and Newry Women’s Aid.

This also accompanies our Christmas Raffle which raised an amazing £408.46 for Brain Injury Matters, our Charity of the Year for 2022.

Thank you to everyone that donated generously.

Greenview have joined the Menopause Workplace Pledge, a campaign led by the Wellbeing of Women, a women’s health charity saving and changing the lives of women, girls and babies​.

The key objective of the initiative is to encourage women going through the menopause to know that they can – and should – be fully supported in the workplace, and to call on employers to do their bit by signing the pledge and sticking to it.

Women make up nearly half of the UK workforce, but around 900,000 have quit their jobs because of the menopause. People often struggle with their menopause symptoms in the workplace.

We have committed to making our organisation a supportive and understanding place for employees going through the menopause. If people affected by menopause feel supported at work, it can help to increase staff retention, reduce recruitment costs, improve productivity, happiness and wellbeing, and ensure a more diverse workforce.

In signing the Menopause Workplace Pledge, we have committed to:

• Recognising that the menopause can be an issue in the workplace and women need support
• Talking openly, positively and respectfully about the menopause
• Actively supporting and informing your employees affected by the menopause.

As a socially responsible business, Corporate Social Responsibility is at the core of our business ethos. Each year we are proactive in supporting local charities. We pride ourselves on ‘giving back’ and this has included coffee mornings, pub quizzes, donations to local food bank donations and toys for Cash for Kids at Christmas.

Our annual charity is nominated by our employees, enabling us to support a cause close to their hearts. The nominated charities were shortlisted by an independent panel and our selected Charity of the Year 2022 was Brain Injury Matters. Thank you to all those who nominated, voted and got involved.

Brain Injury Matters supports, promotes and empowers all those affected by Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). They deliver a range of innovative programmes and initiatives led by a diverse team of clinicians, to help those affected by ABI become more independent, achieve their goals and help them adjust to life with brain injury.

Throughout 2022, we will be working to support Brain Injury Matters (NI) through fundraising and employee initiatives.

At our recent employee event, we held a Christmas Hamper raffle and raised £408.46 for Brain Injury Matters.
