Families in Need

Families in Need Families in Need is a charitable organisation dedicated to assisting local people struggling at Christmas time

Bikes 4 Change is a local charity dedicated to assisting any individual to get access to a bike in the Telford and Wrekin area. Our journey began as Bikes 4 Kids on April 4th, 2021, during the lockdown period, as we started donating bikes to children in need. Over the past two years, we have experienced tremendous growth, creating partnerships with multiple local organisations to expand and allow

more people access to cycling. We have also undertaken a full rebrand, changing our name to Bikes 4 Change as we want the message to be clear that we donate bikes to anyone and everyone, from school children to adults. Every individual deserves access to a bike this aligns with our slogan ‘cycling for change, one bike at a time’. We operate on a donation basis for providing bikes to those in need and can collect or deliver donated bikes.

​​

We also provide a range of services including:

bike repairs

servicing

maintenance classes (aimed at teaching basic bike upkeep). It is important to note that before donating a bike, we ensure it undergoes servicing by myself (Colin), a Cytech certified mechanic to meet safety standards. Please contact us for any further details regarding the services. We appreciate the need for bikes, but we are also in desperate need of volunteers. Specifically, we are seeking volunteers for the following areas:

Administrative work = help us manage our operations by responding to emails, sorting through submission forms, and addressing any other inquiries we receive. An interest in bike maintenance = utilise your skills to service bikes and help resolve any mechanical issues that may arise, ensuring that our bikes are in great condition. Delivery/collection assistance = play a vital role in our charity by collecting bikes from generous donors and facilitating their delivery to new users.

​

We value every volunteer and their contributions so anyone willing to lend a helping hand is most welcome. Together, we can make a significant difference in our community.

Hi guys
It’s nearly that time again, this year we haven’t been given the money we’ve had over the last couple of years so I doubt there will be any food parcels but I’ve got some nice bikes which I’ll post on the page when they’re ready and I’ll also see what toys we’ve got
