Bike refurb & repair charities

[AndyRM]

There's the Cycle Hub in Aberdeen (who I believe have other outlets in Dundee and Arbroath).

https://www.cyclehub.org/

There is/was a project similar to Recyck y'Bike in North Shields but I forget the name. Volunteered with them for a while a couple years ago so I'll see what I can find contact wise.

I wonder if @Andy in Germany 's workshop should be mentioned in this thread?

My sister and I bought a recycled bike from them for my niece. They had at least 50 finished bikes to choose from and a large number waiting to be worked on.

@Moderators

In post #19 of this thread I've started a summary of the bicycle projects people have mentioned.

Would it be possible to create an update able sticky with the summary?

It would be a useful reference for us all.

Thanks

In Edinburgh there is Bike Station at 2 locations. https://www.thebikestation.org.uk/

I've just heard about this one - Changing the Cycle - located within the publicly accessible part of Acklington prison, Northumberland. I have no idea what their bike repair is like but they run an excellent cafe within Newcastle Cathedral.
