If I donate a bike to the workshop … what happens to the bike?
- The workshop is run by a charity (Bikes for Refugees SA Inc). Welfare agencies refer clients to us, and we give a free bike to use for transport or recreation.
- We help refugee families re-settling in Adelaide, and also other people in hardship .
- Surplus bikes are sold to raise money.
- About half funds raised, are used to run the workshop and buy bike parts and bike tools.
- What’s surplus, we give to charities that help refugees e.g Red Cross, UNHCR, Australian Refugee Association.
In 2018-9, we received 1400 donated bikes.
