About the project

PROJECT TITLE: Bikes for Refugees​

LOCATION: Manchester, Trafford

FUNDING: Awarded £9,785 from the Recycle for Greater Manchester Fund (2023 - 2024)

PARTNERS: Chorlton Bike Deliveries

The idea

Salvaging no longer wanted/working bikes and upcycling/repairing them to pass to local refugees, via partner charity, Refugee Aid. Running free group training sessions for volunteer mechanics to upcycle bikes, which will enable more efficient handling from when bikes are donated to when they are passed to charity.​
