VOLT x Visiting Angels: Caring for Carers with Pedal Power

VOLT is proud to announce a new heartwarming partnership with Visiting Angels, one of the UK’s leading home care providers. By introducing a fleet of VOLT e-bikes to their care team, Visiting Angels has become the first franchise in the care sector to roll out this low-emission, cost-saving transport solution across their network.

At VOLT, we believe that e-bikes are more than just a way to get from A to B—they are a vehicle for change. This belief is shared by Visiting Angels, a company renowned for its “carer-centric” approach.

In a sector where staff wellbeing is paramount, they are leading the charge by ensuring their team has access to sustainable, affordable, and stress-free transport.

A Carer-Centric Commute

Since its inception, Visiting Angels has focused on being the best employer in the care sector. As the cost-of-living crisis began to impact the financial well-being of workers across the UK, Managing Director Dan Archer recognised the need for a solution that would support his staff’s pockets as well as their peace of mind.

With fuel prices rising and the costs of running a vehicle becoming a barrier for many passionate potential carers, the decision to introduce VOLT e-bikes was a natural step.

says Dan Archer, Managing Director of Visiting Angels.

Powered by Purpose

The collaboration isn’t just about economics; it’s about well-being and sustainability. Cycling to care visits offers staff a chance to breathe, reset, and enjoy the outdoors between appointments—benefits that are increasingly backed by evidence linking e-biking to improved mental and physical health.

By equipping their team with VOLT e-bikes, Visiting Angels is ensuring their carers can start their days on the right foot, arriving at their clients’ homes refreshed and ready to provide the compassionate care they are known for.

Driving Change in the Care Sector

This initiative marks a significant milestone for the care industry. Visiting Angels is setting a new standard, showing that an organisation built around its caregivers can adapt and innovate to meet modern challenges.

“It’s vital that, as an organisation fundamentally built around our care givers, we continually listen to them and respond,” Dan adds. “E-bikes are just one of the many ways we are addressing the impact the cost-of-living crisis is having on our care teams.”

At VOLT, we are thrilled to support a partner that values its people as much as we value our riders. Whether it’s cutting carbon footprints or improving transport wellbeing, this partnership proves that with a little pedal power, we can make a genuine difference in the community.
