One for us beach lovers ... 📢

If you can carve out an hour / half an hour in your day - please find some gloves, grab a rubbish sack and get stuck in (safely, at low tide). ⚠️

My phone has been pinging off the hook since Sunday's news - love you bunch. The excellent banter and banana thoughtfulness I’m eternally-grateful is mixed with a bunch of sadness for what I saw, today. It was heartbreaking down there. 😵

As a beach lover, first and foremost, and a Chief Banana Officer for life, I went down to Selsey Beach this morning to join the INCREDIBLE Selsey Beach Litter Ninjas who are on the beach year round, and now around the clock.

I also channeled Dad. He'd have been on that beach today, if he was here. 🌈

Even in the couple of hours I was there, it was clear to see the impact and the power of community in the clean up.

That said, by the time I left, the patch we’d cleaned was once again covered and more debris was washing up as the tide came in.

This is not a task that’s going anywhere, sadly, and the extent of the ‘spread’ is reaching miles up the coast.

Look up the Ninjas to find out more, or just rock up at low tide, beach end of Grafton Road, like I did and you'll find them. 🤩

I just got in the rhythm. I was just loving it. I wasn't thinking about where I was I was just moving forwards. I have no idea where I am". 💬

I'm out on my bike, Alex J 🚲

Lose yourself, in what's coming soon ... Eyes peeled for a new line in POWER. 👀

🎄💙 This Christmas, Let’s Look Out for Each Other 🤝✨

The festive season can be full of joy — but for some, it can also be a tough time.

Not everyone has friends or family nearby, and feelings of loneliness or stress can weigh heavily during the holidays. That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to check in, reach out, and look after one another this Christmas. A small act of kindness can make a world of difference.

Here are a few ways to help keep our community safe, supported, and connected:

💬 Check in on neighbours and loved ones.
A quick phone call, knock at the door, or message to say hello can brighten someone’s day more than you realise.

☕ Notice who might be struggling.
If you know someone who’s alone, invite them for a cuppa or drop off a card — simple gestures can mean a lot.

🧠 Look after your own wellbeing.
It’s okay to not feel okay. Take time for yourself, talk to someone you trust, and reach out for support if you need it.

☎️ Help is always available.
If you or someone you know is struggling, support is out there — you’re never alone.

• Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7)
• Shout: Text SHOUT to 85258

Look out for each other, stay safe, stay connected, and enjoy the season responsibly.

The answer to 'is it real?' 🤍

The second most asked question, after 'what's the banana about?' 🍌

A bit about me, my story, and why supporting My Sisters' House CIO with the POWER Advent Calendar in December, and beyond, is close to my heart.

And if you invite me to a white party, I go all in. 💥

POWER stands for empowerment not intimidation.

"I want every rider to believe that what they achieve on the bike, they can achieve off the bike. In an increasingly disconnected, lonely world where crippling mental health thrives, I want every ride to ignite connection. Connection creates community, sparks energy, encourages vulnerability and has the power to achieve lasting mind and body transformation."

Elaine Hart, POWER Founder

The POWER Garage is real, it’s raw, it’s where it all began, and it’s where it all begins. The Garage was designed to be a space to test kit and rides with friends during the Winter 2019, in the build towards the intended launch of POWER-To-You - workplaces, festivals, community spaces, private hire, in Spring 2020. The Garage became Home to POWER in the Garage rides until Covid-19 hit, and the world changed beyond recognition.

I invested in the kit required to take the business online which initially went against everything I wanted POWER to be. However, I believe I've found a way that stays true to POWER values, via the online medium. The Garage then became the stage for POWER Online - live rides via Zoom. I launched POWER Online in April 2020, in a ‘bike or no bike’ format - anyone and everyone can ‘ride’ e.g. walkers, runners, gardeners. Anyone with an internet connection, headphones and an open mind is welcome - emphasising POWER to simply be the decision to put down your phone for 30 or 45 minutes and ‘ride’. The bike or no bike concept reinforces my core intention for POWER to be more than a endorphin-boosting, sweat-inducing workout, POWER is physical and mental strength, on and off the bike.
