Kieran is a man with a mission...

KIERAN Power dedicates most of his free time to helping others because he believes even the smallest thing can make the biggest difference.

But nothing Kieran does is small – from cycling more than 400 miles from his home in Musselburgh to London to take part in a triathlon through to encouraging the whole community to shop locally.

Kieran, 32, is a fundraiser for CCLASP – a local children’s cancer charity – and a treasurer for his local football club. He is passionate about local businesses, a member of his cycling club and volunteers for Cycling Without Age – the charity which won the TSB Community Partner award.

Cycling Without Age uses specially adapted bikes to take the elderly or less able out on rides.

Dad-of-two Kieran, who has won a Pride of TSB community superhero award and works at TSB head office in Edinburgh, says: “I’ve got my fingers in a lot of pies. I decided to get involved with Cycling Without Age because I saw coverage of the idea and thought it was brilliant.

“We got the specially adapted cycles into Musselburgh and I started. Usually I take people out on a weekend now the nights are darker. We do a round of five or so residential and care homes, taking out people who can’t get out as easily usually. I get a lot of satisfaction out of it, hearing their stories and history, but also it can really put things into perspective.”
