Organise a Bike Collection

Set Up a Local Bike Collection

With so many bicycles left abandoned or unused across the UK, we’re on a mission to give them a new life.

We collect unwanted bikes and send them to rural communities across Africa, where they provide vital transport for education, healthcare and work. The more bikes we collect, the more lives we can change.

To make donating as easy as possible, we’re growing our network of UK drop-off points and pop-up collections — and we’d love your help.

Why Get Involved?

Support a circular economy and keep good bikes out of landfill

Help change lives by providing transport in rural Africa

Get involved in a meaningful cause at no cost to you

Whether you’re a shop, business, community venue or individual, becoming a drop-off point is a simple and flexible way to support a great cause.

We’ll support you every step of the way with promotional materials, clear guidance, and a shout-out across our social media channels.
