£100 could equip a volunteer with a tool box & basic equipment, PPE & Work clothing and a Basic Repair/Build Bike training course. £500 would allow the Bike workshop to update and source specialist tools, which are in constant use and have a shelf life!

Homelessness research suggests finding, and retaining, work is critical in preventing the problem. However, our experience tells us working gives someone a sense of purpose and self-respect, which is at least as important.  Engaging in meaningful activities, such as SSJ's Recycle Bikes, can have similar effects.

Project Manager, Myles, says "Activities can be key in reducing feelings of boredom & loneliness and can act as a catalyst; motivating people to make positive changes. Perhaps most importantly, activities can greatly improve well-being & quality of life for individuals who may have experienced extremely traumatic events or be faced with a great deal of stress".
