    Bike donation with The Bike Project

    Do you have an unused bike collecting dust? 🚲 Consider donating it to a refugee!

    The Bike Project collects secondhand bikes, refurbishes them, and provides them to refugees and people seeking asylum. In the UK, over 230,000 refugees and people seeking asylum face challenging circumstances, having fled persecution and war, often unable to work and reliant on limited allowances. Meanwhile, there are around 38 million unused bikes across the country. Matching the two can offer immediate financial relief and practical benefits.

    “When you have to go from charity to charity to feed yourself, a bike becomes very important to your life.” – Adam, Bike Recipient

    Join us at the Balsall Heath Second Saturday with a pop-up drop-off point. Donate your bike on Saturday, November 11th, from 10 am to 4 pm at The Old Print Works, 498-506 Moseley Road, Birmingham, B12 9AH.

    Your unused bike can transform the life of a refugee! Register your bike here: thebikeproject.co.uk/donate-bike
