Lynne Morrilly will be cycling 100km to raise awareness for social care.

A staff member at a Mobberley home is set to take part in The Great British Care Cycle Relay to help raise awareness for social care.

Lynne Morrilly works as an activity coordinator at MHA The Willows and will be taking part in The Great British Care Cycle Relay.

Lynne is a keen cyclist and commutes to work and back every day on her bike.

She will be cycling from The Chocolate Works Care Home in York through Harrogate and Wetherby back to The Chocolate Works Care Home on the 13th of June 2025.

The Great British Care Cycle Relay is a monumental cycling event, in line with Care Home Open Week, that aims to raise awareness of social care in the United Kingdom.

MHA The Willows provides general nursing and nursing dementia care for 61 residents.

Speaking on her training regime she said: “I cycle to work and back every day, but as I will be cycling around 100km at The Great British Care Cycle Relay, I have started to up my cycling.

“I am planning a trip to the peak district as it will give me some good practice on a hilly route.

“Cycling is very important to me, not only does it help my physical health, but more importantly my mental health.

“I am very passionate about social care and as I work in this field I am even more determined to help raise awareness.

“I do feel I signed up for the relay a little last minute, but I am looking forward to it.

“I am hoping the weather is just right and feel very confident I will be able to complete my part of the leg.”
