Cycling empowers our clients to travel freely and independently, and get to know the city. It enables them to get to work, access education, attend appointments or pursue leisure activities. Sanctuary Wheels, our recycled bike project, provides asylum seekers and refugees with reconditioned bikes (as well as helmet, new lights and locks).

Sanctuary Wheels
Sanctuary Wheels is a partnership project involving Asylum Welcome, Cyclox and Active Oxfordshire, working with Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and many community organisations across the county, to provide bikes, lights, locks, helmets and translated tuition for hundreds of refugees across Oxfordshire.
So far, the project has been a tremendous success helping to collect, fix and distribute 300+ bikes to people who neeed them!
