Description

The much admired Barnsley Bike Recycling Scheme is entering a new phase after winning a National Lotter grant. The scheme has now moved into the basement of Wellington House, it's first proper home and the plan is to develop workshop facilities so that those who use the recycled bikes can learn how to maintain and repair them.

Already over 200 bikes have been refurbished to provide an affordable means of transport for those seeking sanctuary in Barnsley. Affordable transport is a key issue for refugees so the gift of a bike can make a huge difference, helping to open new opportunities and make life more manageable.

Do you have a bike that you or your child no longer use? why not donate to a good cause.
