Westward Cycle Instructor COVID-19 Fund

$650 donated
Given by 7 generous donors in around 3 months

Our riders have asked how they can help –– they can help Westward by helping our instructors during this incredibly difficult time.

Auckland

Westward Cycle is so much more than a workout -– we’re on a mission to be the best part of your day. We help both new-to-cycling and experienced riders find their flow –– a connection to self in mind, body, and soul –– and commune with each other over music, movement, and positivity.

Our instructors –– Sammy, Nicky, Gab + Bryan –– are incredibly kind, talented + hard-working people. They create the big, sweaty magic in our classes + outside of our studio everyday. We had a really good thing going until the COVID-19 outbreak. On March 23, 2020, Westward Cycle was mandated closed until it is safe for community contact. We 100% support the Level 3 + Level 4 mandates from the NZ government –– we only wish to operate as long as it is safe for everyone. That said, without the ability to run our regular class schedule, our instructors are out of work. In the face of adversity, our instructors are creating 30-minute virtual classes (no bike required!), which we're offering via our Instagram Live. We wanted to create an avenue for our community to donate directly to our instructors during this crisis.

Sarah Fairburn's involvement (page creator)

Sammy, Nicky, Gab + Bryan work for Westward Cycle. With the COVID-19 outbreak, we're no longer able offer cycle classes. Without classes, we're not able to pay our contractor.

Use of funds

A little goes a long way. If you've enjoyed their free 30-minute workouts, please consider making a donation in their name (Sammy, Nicky, Gab OR Bryan). All named donations, will be given directly to the named instructor. Thank you for your generosity!

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
