Kettering Cycle-Re-Cycle

Through our Brightwayz Cycle-Re-Cycle project we organise donations of unwanted bikes to loan out or to give to those identified by our collaborative partners as being in need.

We ensure the bikes are suitable, checked and repaired if needed. They can then be fitted out with panniers and/or baskets so they can be used for practical journeys such as going to the shops. A good quality lock is also provided along with other useful accessories. The cycles are then used for community projects - to loan out or to donate to those in need.

We also work in collaboration with HMP Five Wells Prison in Wellingborough and their cycle workshop where inmates learn how to repair bikes.

The scheme aims to ensure access for all to cycling in the local area as well as the environmental benefits of repairing and reusing cycles locally.

How can you help?

If you would like to donate a pre-loved cycle to our project we would be grateful to receive it. We also appreciate any good condition but unwanted cycle accessories such as panniers and baskets. Please contact us on projects@brightwayz.co.uk or call us on 01536 903400 if you have a bicycle you wish to donate.
