Kids at Bristol Children’s Hospital design new bike helmets
A team from Cheddar-based bike company Kiddimoto have visited Bristol Royal Hospital for Children to raise awareness of the importance of wearing bicycle helmets, and to launch a competition for children to design their own helmet.
The team hosted a playday at the hospital, and donated bikes, scooters, helmets, and other equipment to the hospital, to encourage children to take up cycling and to do it safely.

They also launched a design competition for children aged 5-15. The winning design will be made into a reality by the Kiddimoto team, and £5 from each sale of these helmets across the globe will be donated supported by local hospital charity Above and Beyond. The money will make a real difference to the 88,000 patients treated at Bristol Children’s Hospital each year.
