About Us
The Going Green Cycle Project is a community of refugees, cyclists, mechanics and volunteers.
Our mission is simple: to take second-hand bikes, fix them up in our workshop and give them to refugees.
We also run group cycle training for refugee women in London. The lessons empower and inspire women to feel the freedom of their very own bike – perhaps for the first time in their lives.
As well as our charitable activities, we sell a proportion of our wonderful refurbished bikes to the general public through our online bike shop. Every single penny we make from bike sales is ploughed straight back into the charity. This much-needed cash injection helps secure our long-term sustainability – and that means even more refugees cycling!
We’re a fast growing project and have a warm welcome ready for anyone keen to volunteer, learn practical skills and meet funky people. If that’s you, drop us a line!
Workshop and Retail Team
Without our mighty mechanics and fantabulous shop team members, we couldn’t refurbish so many beaten-up bikes and get them into the hands of refugees and the paying customers who help fund the project. Love them!
Our Trustees
Our trusty trustees are a treasure trove of experience, full of invaluable business and charity know-how that has been a huge factor in our success and our ambitions for the future. Hat tip.
