A bike can be life-changing

After fleeing war and persecution, people seeking asylum in the UK are forbidden from working and forced to live on as little at £1.25 a day. Those who receive refugee status are still doubly hit by the soaring cost of living and the hostile environment.

A bike is a free and sustainable way to access vital services like education and healthcare. More than that, a bike can provide freedom, joy and community. Our bike recipients are twice as likely to go on into employment, education or training.

There are hundreds of people on our waiting list, and it keeps growing.

It costs us £150 to professionally service a bike and give it to a refugee (or £75 for a child refugee). That’s where you come in! Whether you give once or monthly, anything you can spare will be life-changing.

Thank you for showing solidarity with refugees!
