Asylum Welcome is always looking for donated bikes for men, women and children.

Bikes should be in decent, rideable condition, with gears and brakes fully functioning, and needing no more than lubrication, adjustment or very minor repairs.

Donated bikes, lights and locks can be dropped off at our office during opening hours.
Please bring them to the Welcome Centre rather than leaving them outside.

If you have any questions, please email bike@asylum-welcome.org.

Our recycled bike project provides our clients with reconditioned bikes, along with a new helmet, lights and a lock.

Cycling helps people travel independently, get to know the city, and reach work, education, appointments or leisure activities.

You can donate here to support this important work.

• £20 could provide lights and a lock for one bike
• £60 could cover the full cost of providing a bike for one refugee

We spend around £2,500 each year on locks alone, helping ensure that donated bikes remain safe and usable for the people who rely on them.

We see, and our clients tell us, that having a bike makes a huge difference to their morale, gets them out and doing, gives them freedom of transport across the city and often is a crucial factor in being able to take up educational and therapeutic support. It can be a major stage in becoming an independent member of society.

Thank you so much!
