Great North Run 2021 · 12 September 2021 ·

Were raising £3,000 to provide free bikes and cycle training to young people who cant afford to get around.

Story

Bikes have been in big demand during the pandemic with sales through the roof. Westminster Wheels - a bike refurbishment, maintenance and training project - has been inundated with requests for bikes and has struggled to keep up with demand. Some extra funding will mean more bikes can be donated for free to local young people in need. At Westminster Wheels, young people aged 17-24 learn how to be cycle mechanics and get paid the London Living Wage for six months to put their skills into practice, refurbishing unwanted and unloved bikes that are donated to the project. These are then sold or given to local people in need. Over this past year many young people have found themselves struggling to meet the costs of living. Not being able to scrape together the bus fare means struggling to get to work or education. A bike can make all the difference. Thank you for supporting me to help this amazing project.
