Newham changemaker
Onome is an Active Newham, British Heart Foundation and COVID-19 Health Champion volunteer in Newham. As part of her involvement as a Health Champion, Onome runs a cycling club. Onome set up the cycling club to provide people with an opportunity to exercise and socialise during these difficult times. Her goal was to help keep the community healthy – both mentally, physically and emotionally.
“Back in my country cycling was my means of transportation, literally to everywhere. But when I came here, that chance wasn’t available. When the opportunity came to set up a cycling club I jumped at the chance. We have had a range of cycling abilities – from beginners through to experts. It has been great fun.”
– Onome Juliet Eric, Volunteer
