Sad Farewell to Jules

Sad Farewell to Jules

Sheffield Cycling 4 All is very sad to announce that their friend and great supporter Julius (Jules) Vernon passed away on 8th November 2022.

“Jules first came to visit Sheffield Cycling 4 All in April 2017 after an old friend, Caroline, suggested he come down to Hillsborough for a ride. He was a committed volunteer, helping to set up sessions and fit people with trikes, cycling with people and spreading the word about the group. He saw SC4A as a community which he was proud to be a part of.

He was a great advocate for cycling and for the benefits that it brings. He once said, ‘Money can’t buy the wellbeing that I get out of this’

Jules always had time for everyone he met, and his warmth and kindness helped to make people feel welcome when they came cycling. He was always willing to do whatever needed doing in order to help out at cycling sessions.

Thank you, Jules, for being part of our group and helping to shape it into what it is today. We will miss your enthusiasm, your lovely smile, and your wicked sense of humour!”

Sheffield Cycling 4 All will close cycling on Tuesday 29th November so we can attend his funeral.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
