We are delighted to hear that the Frome Community Bike Project is now open, as a group we felt this was a fantastic initiative and decided to make a group donation.
In October 2022 the project successfully raised over £30,000 in 44 days and all the hard work from the project leaders and volunteers has now paid off as they are open.
Below is taken from a recent newsletter, please support this great project and visit the team at their new location, the local children certainly will be!
Since we were granted planning permission back in July we have been super busy building our workshop. A team of fabulous volunteers have generously given their time over the last few months to build and kit out the workshop which will be a shared space to learn about fixing bikes or to book your bike in for a service. From this base we also sell refurbished bikes, teach bike maintenance courses and cycle confidence sessions plus lead social group rides.
None of this would have been possible without the generous donations of our supporters through Crowdfunder. Thank you to everyone who donated or shared our campaign last year. Although we have faced a few delays on the journey, we are now open and each and every one of you have contributed to making Frome Community Bike Project a reality. Thank you!
