About Re~Cycle

www. re-cycle.org is a UK charity committed to improving life prospects through the provision of cheap, sustainable transport in Africa.

Re~Cycle Description

In Britain, millions of bikes are thrown away or lie unused in sheds, whilst many people in Africa have no access to transport of any kind. People spend hours each day walking to collect water, firewood or to access health care, school and employment. A bicycle lightens this burden and dramatically improves their wellbeing as well as work and education opportunities helping to bring social change. A bicycle cuts travel time to a fraction and can carry passengers and heavy loads. Bikes give families the extra time to earn, learn and enjoy life.

The ever growing list below shows the countries that the bikes have been sent to since we started shipping to Africa in 1998. We have now sent more than 94, 000 bikes - all thanks to the donations of bikes, time and money from our many wonderful supporters. Very many thanks to all who have supported our work : )

We were delighted to receive a cheque from the Students of Shakespeare House at The Stanway School this morning. We have been their chosen charity for the year and they raised a staggering £1,100 in aid of Re-Cycle. Thank you all so much for your tremendous efforts in raising the funds, which will go towards changing more lives in Africa. #essexschool #charity

Its #VolunteersWeek and we want to say thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, we wouldn't be where we are today without their support. Meet Ryan our fantastic chief loader, he has been volunteering at Re-Cycle for 8 years now. Ryan's drive and enthusiasm when loading a container is so strong that it's usually loaded in just a few days! Can you imagine carrying and loading over 500 bikes in such a short space of time?! In his spare time Ryan enjoys Horse Riding, Drumming... and going to Discos. . . . #Volunteer #VolunteerWeek #Volunteering #Charity

Its #VolunteersWeek and we want to say thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, we wouldn't be where we are today without their support. Meet James our dedicated volunteer who travels for two hours on two buses to get to us! He has been volunteering at Re-Cycle for 6 years now, this has really built his confidence and even earned him the 2016 Colchester Youth Award! He removes the spokes from the wheels making every part recyclable! In his spare time James enjoys keeping... fit at the gym and listening to music. . . . . #Volunteer #VolunteerWeek #Volunteering #Charity

HUGE ASK to all of our supporters. We are a small team of staff here at re-cycle and have many volunteers. We are in desperate need of some new computer boxes to make our working day more efficient. Whilst we appreciate most people will want to donate to our cause, we need to be able to have good working tools to enable us to do our jobs. Therefore, if you work for a Corporate organisation who would be willing to sponsor some new IT equipment or if you are in individual who would like to make a financial donation to help our day run more smoothly, we would be extremely grateful. If you can help email lindsay.hurrell@re-cycle.org or call 01206-617865. #corporate #ITsuppliers #computercompanies #individuals #sponsorship

Its #VolunteersWeek and we want to say thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, we wouldn't be where we are today without their support. Meet Mick, he has been volunteering at Re-Cycle for 6 years now. He strips the bikes that arent suitable for Africa. This involves taking off all of the parts for spares leaving us with the metal frame which can then be re-cycled. Mick worked as a Air Radar Technician in the RAF from the age of 16-27! He is also a member of the Royal Br...itish Legion and the Aden Veteran Association. . . . . #Volunteer #VolunteerWeek #Volunteering #Charity

Its #VolunteersWeek and we want to say thank you to all of our volunteers, we wouldn't be where we are today without their support. Meet Hilary, she has been volunteering at Re-Cycle for 2 years now. She helps us "prep" the bikes which involves flat packing them to enable us to get more in to the containers. Hilary is a keen cyclist, recently returning from a cycling trip in Wales and will be off cycling in Spain again next month! She is also a Bassoonist in the local orches...tra. . . . . #Volunteer #VolunteerWeek #Volunteering #Charity

This shows just how talented our Bike Mechanics are. This bike was kindly donated to us and has been stripped and completely re-built! Any bikes we receive that aren't suitable for Africa are put through our workshop and re-furbished by our fully qualified Bike Mechanics, they all come with a 60 day warranty and all proceeds help us send bikes to Africa. . . .... . . .

We really appreciate the support we receive from our fundraisers. A massive thanks goes out to Robin Mager who is undertaking his own challenge of riding a 1000 miles on a cargo bike from Copenhagen to Shropshire. If you can help him achieve his target by giving a small donation he would be really grateful. All funds being raised are coming to Re-cycle (Bikes to Africa).

As a charity we rely on the support of our volunteers, who donate a tremendous amount of hours to the charity each year. Without them we would not be able to send as many bikes as we do to Africa. Pictured are some of our volunteers working with us today. THANK YOU!
