Companion Cycling is a community resource helping people with special needs to enjoy the fun of cycling.
What is this activity?
Full Cycle is a non-profit organisation involved in several local projects in Kingston to supply refurbished bikes to refugees and those on low incomes with an essential means of travel. We also supply subsidised bicycles to encourage and assist people who want to take up cycling or return to riding.
What is on offer:
-
Bicycle Maintenance Training - fix and restore donated bicycles in our workshop in Berrylands. You will be able to learn transferable manual workshop skills including tool use, health & safety in the workplace. You will also be part of an inclusive and welcoming community.
-
Fix Your Own Bike Sessions - these sessions are run by experienced instructors, and are for those who wish to maintain their own bike, or learn how to recycle and build a bike.
-
Repairs & Servicing - contact us to find out more about our repairs and servicing options. All profits are invested back into cycle-related initiatives across the Kingston community.
Our volunteering webpage sets out ways you can get involved. Volunteering will offer the opportunity to learn new skills , as well as supporting the local community.
