Archway Project

Charity Registration No. 1118485

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. <p> 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. <p> 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. <p> We're currently hoping to raise £10,000 towards a camping and off-road motorbike riding residential trip for our young members.
