I've been offered 5 Hase Trigon recumbent tricycles to pass on to suitable all ability cycling charities/groups. They are about 8yrs old but have only been used once & since then been languishing in a basement in London. I'll probably take one for the group at Stoke Mandeville and have arranged for the company I work for to collect them all early Feb and be taken back to nr Newark for cleaning & servicing, so will be in as new condition. Please pm me if you know any groups that could make good use of one, ideally would need to be registered charity so I can offer our client who is donating them a tax deductable benefit. Could possibly be delivered subject to fitting in with one of our deliveries/location.
You could try empoweredpeople.co.uk - they are based in todmorden, West Yorkshire.
Cycling UK have a few inclusive cycling projects that might be worth a shout.
Not sure if Cycle Derby or Ridewise in Nottingham may be interested.
I don't know them personally but these help out SEND kids in the Manchester region.
And good work!
Top work! The "wheels for all" organisation has been great for my niece and I can provide you with contact names if they fit the bill. I think they cover most of the country too.
Had an email about this organisation today:
Not sure if they can use/ signpost to someone?
Thank you for all your replies, I'm going to offer them to Wheels for All, Simply Cycling and Cycling UK in the first instance as they seem to have the most venues and will be able to allocate them where they will get the most use.

+1 for these guys, they are local and always seem busy when I pass.
Wheels for All, Simply Cycling and Bikeworks CIC were all very grateful for the trikes that we delivered to them last week, so thanks all for the suggestions, a happy outcome for some unused kit for sure 👍
Top stuff!
if any remain, then check these folks https://charlottestandems.weebly.com/
They lend, throughout the UK, at no cost (i.e. for free), tandems and tag-alongs (trailer bikes) to (and only to) people with disabilities or additional needs, who are unable to ride a bike safely on their own, so that they can enjoy the wonders of cycling.
