Archway Project - 2010 Residential · 22 August 2010 ·

The Archway Project is a small charity based in Thamesmead, London. Established in 1982, we work to improve the lives of young people living in the city, including those at risk of anti-social behaviour. We also work with youngsters who may not be doing very well at school, either due to problems at home or because of mild learning difficulties like dyslexia. Activities at the Archway Project centre on off road motorbike mechanics and riding. Young people learn the theory in the classroom which supports the practical mechanics they are taught in the workshop. Our members carry out simple repairs through to complete engine rebuilds, and maintain our fleet of motorbikes that are used during off road riding trips. We also teach cooking and photography, and arrange trips to motorsport events such as the Weston Beach Race and British Motocross Grand Prix, so that our members can watch their sporting heroes in action. Through all of these activities, we equip young people with both qualifications and life skills to help them lead meaningful futures. We're currently hoping to raise £10,000 towards a camping and off-road motorbike riding residential trip for our young members.

Story

The Archway Project, which provides a range of educational and recreational activities from motorbike mechanics to cookery, is seeking to raise £10,000 to fund its annual camping and off-road motorbiking residential.

 

The charity sets up camp in the wilderness, and teenagers are given the opportunity to spend a week riding off-road motorbikes everyday, learning new skills and techniques on unexplored terrain. They leave London behind for the countryside, where evenings are spent around a camp fire. An outdoor garage is set up at camp, where volunteers and staff repair the bikes in the evening in readiness for riding the next day.

 

The Archway Project is working hard to ensure that the trip can go ahead in August 2010. Money needs to be raised to cover camping fees, motorbike fuel and spare parts, food, cooking gas, camping equipment, staffing costs and minibus fuel.

 

Thank you for your help!
