At Community Cycleworks we are working towards a world in which all young people regardless of background, gender or ethnicity have access to a bike, the skills to ride confidently, and the opportunities to cycle safely.

We know the social, cultural and economic barriers that prevent many young people from cycling:

• Access to bikes and practical skills

• Lack of diverse representation in the cycling community

• Poor physical health and fitness

• Negative mindsets towards cycling

Our mission is to overcome these barriers and make sure that all young people are able to access, repair and ride their bikes.

In Southwark and in Snodland we run multiple projects to make this reality.

• In Southwark: Bike Fix maintenance afternoons every Friday; Fix a Bike skills sessions in schools across the borough; and bike clubs teaching many cycling disciplines for young people in the community.

• In Snodland: the continued development of a community pump track and bike club where young people can practice their skills in a safe, traffic-free environment, make new friends and work on social action projects.

To continue this work and increase the number of workshops we're able to offer, we need your help.
