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

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.
