Our grant for core costs will enable the expansion of the Bike Project to more cities across England and the delivery of its core projects for refugees and asylum seekers.

What we’re funding: The Bike Project sources, refurbishes, and delivers bikes, enabling refugees and asylum seekers to enjoy the financial, practical, social, and emotional benefits of bike ownership. Our funding of core costs will enable its expansion to six cities across England and the continued delivery of its core programmes: Pedal Power, Bike Buddies, and training and volunteering opportunities.

Why we’re funding: The Bike Project does crucial work tackling the impact of lack of mobility on the lives of refugees and people seeking asylum. With the growing number of refugees and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, the need for this work continues, and its approach remains a practical but powerful solution. This is a cost effective, scalable model with clear benefits for many aspects of a refugee or asylum seeker’s life.
