I’d just like to mention one of the Charities. I was lucky to go along and visit.
Community Cycleworks … based in the Giraffe House Community Centre, Walwoth.
We were met by Stewart who runs the cycleworks hub. Very friendly and welcoming. Introductions over we were put through our paces on the next door BMX track … yes its very hard work !!
Afterwards we were fed coffee and biscuits, which were very much needed by this old man. Stewart went on the explain how the project got off the ground, the aims (teaching children basic bicycle maintenance skills, all the way up to building a bike), and helps them to choose a life away from crime and gangs.
They visit schools, where work stations are set up with progressively more involved maintenance and repair to develop skills. Workshops are help every Friday afternoon at the HUB, and it is these in particular that the WWMT help to keep running, covering costs of opening and running the building.
Also, a key part is run by Stewart’s collegue Iona. Iona is working hard at participation for girls. Whilst we were visiting she was running a 1 to 1 teaching a young lady to ride a bike. Both Stewart and Iona were thrilled by the uptake this program has had in the local community.
Finally, a note on parts, and equipment … the vast majority of which is donated. Let me know if you have any decent hybrid or mountain bike bits which are surplus to requirements … do let me know.
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every day. It will always be exciting to read through content from other writers and use a little something from their web sites.
Thank you for your website post. Thomas and I have already been saving to get a new ebook on this matter and your article has made us to save all of our money. Your opinions really solved all our inquiries. In fact, in excess of what we had known in advance of the time we found your excellent blog. We no longer nurture doubts plus a troubled mind because you have truly attended to the needs in this article. Thanks
I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and
bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet will be much more helpful than ever before.
Thank You.
