At The Bike Project, we take second-hand bikes, fix them up and donate them to refugees and asylum-seekers in London and Birmingham. The UK is bursting with opportunities – but it’s also expensive. Especially when you’re a refugee trying to navigate the complex asylum process on just £37 a week. At The Bike Project, we believe that no one should have to choose between eating a square meal and catching the bus. That’s why we do bikes.Our impactHaving fled persecution and atrocity in their country of origin, most refugees arrive in the UK with absolutely nothing. A bike helps access food banks, legal advice, healthcare, education and much more. If lucky enough to receive official refugee status, a bike can help to find employment.As one of our bike beneficiaries puts it: “When you have to go from charity to charity to feed yourself, a bike becomes very important to your life.”
