ABOUT THE BIKE PROJECT
Founded in 2013, our mission is simple – to match up refugees and people seeking asylum with the thousands of abandoned and unwanted bikes in the UK.
Having fled persecution and war, people arriving in the UK and seeking asylum are banned from working and must live off £6.43 a day, and people who are lucky enough to receive refugee status often face unemployment.
It costs us £150 to provide a refugee with a bike of their very own. A bike can be truly life-changing, more than just a free form of transport, a bike brings joy, freedom, confidence, health and community.
