🚲 Got an old bike gathering dust? We need YOU!

With thanks to Simon and our fantastic Recycles volunteers, we were delighted to donate this pre-loved bike to Watchfield Primary School for a pupil who was previously facing a 30-minute walk to and from school each day.

This bike has already made a real difference helping them get to school more easily, arrive on time, and hopefully stay a little drier on those rainy days. For added safety, we also included lights, a helmet, and high-visibility gear.

This donation was made possible by the kindness of our community in donating old and unwanted bikes. Your support truly helps change lives thank you

🚲 Ever wondered what happens to donated bikes?

At Recycles, every bike that comes through our doors has a story — and a future.

🔩 Each one is carefully repaired by hand
🔧 Fully safety checked in our workshop
🚲 Then given a second life — supporting someone else to rebuild theirs

When you buy a bike from Recycles, you’re not just buying a bike — you’re supporting a programme that puts dignity, purpose, and opportunity at its heart.

💚 You can support our work in several ways:
• Donate bikes, locks, and accessories directly to our shop
• Make a financial donation via our JustGiving page, helping to support our work here in Swindon

https://www.justgiving.com/page/recycles-swindon?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

• Share our posts and help spread the word

Every donation, every purchase, every act of support helps keep our workshop running and our community moving forward.

♻️ Together, we give bikes — and people — a second chance.
