Meadowbrook
Ryde, Isle of Wight

A day centre for adults with a learning disability. For the past four years they have been a collection point for Re-cycle on the Isle Of Wight and have sent 460 bikes to Africa via Re-cycle and one private charity.
They have recently lost their storage building so are waiting for replies to a recent local media appeal for help so the project can continue

This project, run by City Life Education & Action for Refugees (CLEAR), provides refugees and asylum seekers in Southampton with a free bicycle. The bike workshop enables refugees to repair bicycles donated to the project and then to take a fully serviced bike home with them. Repairs are also undertaken where necessary, and more recently children's bikes have been repaired for families newly arrived in the area.

If you have a bike to donate, are a refugee in Southampton who wants a bike, if you want to volunteer to help at the workshop, or just for more information please contact us.
