Cargodale

I work for this wonderful organisation that offers free adult cycle training and lead rides in Calderdale and Kirklees... check out their Eventbrite page for courses near you! 🚴‍♂️😁

I f you're an adult aged 16yrs+ and looking to get in to cycling, then we will have something for you. We offer everything from adult learn to ride sessions to showing riders how to control the traffic when riding on road, and can also offer 1-1 sessions with a qualified instructor to help you plan....

Delighted to be invited to take part in this amazing accessible cycling event at Todmorden Health Centre on Saturday 5th September! 🚴‍♂️😁

I will be there alongside friends Everybody's Cycling, Little Bikers, IOU Hostel, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden Makery, Cadence Cycleworks Todmorden, Living Streets, Lionesses of the Valley and Active Calderdale, promoting all things bikes and active travel in Calderdale, with a whole host of different bikes on show for you to have a look at, and have a go on should you wish! Come down and have a chat with us - I will be there with the cargo bike very eager to tell people about Cargodale, my plans for the business and how I might help you with your delivery needs! I will also be on hand to coach/supervise anyone that might like to have a little whizz round the carpark on the bike, and, if I can manage to source a child seat from somewhere, offer rides for the cargo bikers of the future piloted by yours truly! 🚴‍♂️😁 (If anyone happens to have a child seat for an eBullitt I could possibly borrow, please give me a shout! 🙏)

I will also be leading a short guided walk around Todmorden on the day, route to be confirmed but an easy 30-45 min stroll in the vicinity, largely along the canal towpath.

The event runs from 11am-3pm. Let's hope for some good weather and I hope to see you there! 🌞😎

See you soon!

💥 The grand total reveal... 💥

I'm absolutely delighted that the Cargodale 2.0 crowdfunder raised £2,228!! 🥳

Once again a massive thank you to everyone that donated. This money will enable me to carry on doing what I'm doing, to invest in the things I need to continue and to carry on with growing and developing the business. I will be sure to keep you all updated with developments and to show you exactly where your money is going - things are beginning to gather pace now and I'm really hopeful that I will be able to bring you more exciting news over the coming weeks. I'm so happy with the start I have made, the engagement I have been getting and the overwhelming support and well wishes I have received from our amazing local community right from the outset - thank you once again 🤗❤️

The crowdfunder will remain open for now and is still accepting donations - I'm sure it will be a relief to everyone (myself definitely included!) to know that I will no longer be promoting it but there are people who set up regular pledges - please do cancel these now if you would like the monthly donations to stop. I will leave the link in my bio.

I can't wait to repay the faith that has been put in me to make a success of this and to fully embed a bigger and better service into the community. I shall keep on climbing the mountain - keep watching this space to follow the journey!

Have a lovely weekend everyone and see you out on the road soon.

We might be a little shop tucked away in Sowerby Bridge, but once you find Woofy, we hope you’ll keep coming back ❤️🐶

As a small family run business, Google reviews really help people discover that we’re here — especially when we’re not exactly sitting on the high street shouting LOOK AT US! 👀

If you’ve visited us and your pooch gives Woofy their paw of approval 🐾, we’d love it if you could leave us a few words on Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whether you come to us for raw food, natural treats, Woofy Wash, Woofy Workout or just a good chat and a brew your review could help another local dog owners find us too. 💚

🔎 We would be so grateful if you had 2 mins to search WOOFY TREATS on Google and leave us a review.

Help us be hidden away… but not hard to find! 😉🐾

Thank you so much for supporting our crazy little shop where we try to provide what each and everyone of you and your pooches love xx
Team Woofy 💚🐶

So...

The crowdfunder is coming to an end!

At the time of writing there are 5 days left but this will drop down to 4 in a few hours time ⏳

It is currently at 36% of the target total achieved. This equates to £1,843 - a total I am absolutely delighted with already and for which I would like to once again say a HUGE thank you to the 47 lovely people that have donated so far. I am so, so grateful for your continued support.

Some more numbers... 📊

I have been running the service again now for 8 weeks.

136 deliveries have been made in that time.

43 post office runs.

54 veg boxes.

57kg of soap.

1,770 eggs.

7 transcountinental races.

11 local businesses signed up to the service.

5 (please let's get this figure up!) individuals using me for regular personal deliveries for supermarket shops, garden centre collections, bread delivery, prescription collections, parcel pick ups, and dog food delivery.

It's been a slog - I am working so hard at this, and most of that time and effort hasn't even been on the bike! I am absolutely loving doing it again though, it really is a joy providing this service for the local community, and I'm so proud and privileged to have you back it so that I can continue to try and grow and sustain the business. Thank you again!! 🤗🫶

So, now for the final push! (pun intended...) 🚵‍♂️

Every single donation however big or small will be a massive help towards me keeping this going. I'm sure people are beginning to tire (pun not intended) of me plugging it now and I am absolutely sick to death of doing it myself! I'm really looking forward to just cracking on with making this as successful as possible, getting more people on board and repaying the faith and generosity of the wonderful community that have backed the venture by providing you with the excellent service you all deserve.

Thank you all again!

Much love,

Alex

From Monday to Friday - whether it be sunny or b!tching it down - this lovely man can peddle like the clappers to deliver local orders placed on our website directly to your door. AND! If you order before midday, just so long as the geese aren’t playing chicken with the traffic, we aim for SAME DAY DELIVERY!💥

Meet Alex. Alex has recently relaunched Cargodale, the valley’s eco-friendly and smiley local delivery service. He’s working his waterproof socks off to crowdfund and reignite a service that can reach places delivery vans can’t. Cargodale brings easy access to anyone housebound or balancing busy lifestyles. The service keeps local businesses and their customers connected, especially during any future disruptions. Cargodale can grow and create local employment.

How it works:

▪️Place your order online with us. Our minimum order value for Cargodale delivery is £10 - we need to pack and coordinate, and we’re not sending Alex all the way up the tops with just a greeting card!

▪️Eco-friendly same day Cargodale delivery costs just £3.50 to HX7 postcodes, and £5 to OL14 postcodes. Both these zones are now live automated shipping options on our website checkout page.

‼️When opting for Cargodale shipping at checkout, please leave any delivery day request, safe place instructions, or a message about any angry cats you might have in the shopping cart notes and we’ll sort the rest.

The Crowdfunder for Cargodale is still active.
Visit: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/cargodale2-0 …go give Alex an uphill push!
