Re-Cycle (Bikes to Africa)

That’s 18,228 bikes saved from UK landfill! 🌍👏 Donated from across the UK, these bikes have not only been given a second life but also helped reduce waste, supporting sustainability and making a positive impact on the environment 💚 A huge thank you to everyone who donated a bike and a shoutout to our amazing partners who make it possible to collect bikes from across the country. Together, we’re building a greener, brighter future! 🌟 #BikestoAfrica Halfords GOTO Events Chimney Fire Coffee BikeBiz

We’re loading our first container of bikes for Africycle in Malawi! This marks the start of our new partnership with Africycle, an organisation making a huge impact. Re-Cycle supports AfriCycle’s key initiatives, including a microloan program that helps low-income families buy bikes and repay over time, saving on transport costs. AfriCycle reinvests proceeds from refurbished bike sales into community projects, like supporting over 500 orphaned children. In a country facing economic challenges these bikes are life-changing - providing critical links to schools, healthcare, markets, and jobs. 🌍 Here’s to new partnerships and brighter futures! 💛 #BikesToAfrica #NewPartnership #Malawi

When Re-Cycle started over 27 years ago, we don’t think anyone could have imagined how far the charity would go or how many lives it would touch. 🚲 Since then, we’ve sent over 150,000 bikes to Africa, transforming access to education, healthcare, and work for countless individuals while saving these bikes from UK landfill. 🌍 As we grow year on year, we remain connected to our local community and the communities of our African partners. By visiting and working closely with our partners, we ensure the bikes are used responsibly, empowering sustainable change — not just dropping bikes and walking away. 🎄 This Christmas, we’re asking for your support to help us do even more. Donations to Re-Cycle enable us to collect bikes, load them into containers, and ship them to our wonderful partners across Africa. 🎁 Fancy your chances? We’re also running a Christmas Raffle, with fantastic prizes donated by our amazing local businesses and partners. Tickets are just £2, and every ticket sold helps us kick off 2025 ready to make an even bigger impact. https://lnkd.in/eNrczjHc Together, let’s keep the wheels turning for communities who need them most. 🚴 #Donate #SupportCharity #ChristmasFundraiser #SustainableImpact

🌍 Last week, Charlotte and Mark were in South Africa, visiting our partners Bicycling Empowerment Network (BEN). Re-Cycle makes a big effort to stay in touch and visit our partners across Africa - this commitment leads to stronger relationships and ensures our work benefits as many people as possible, #responsibly and #sustainably. While there, Charlotte and Mark provided training to local mechanics and met some truly inspirational people who shared incredible stories about the impact our bikes are having on individuals and communities in the Western Cape. And this is just the beginning—stay tuned for more stories of transformation coming soon! 🚲💪 #SustainableTransport #CommunityEmpowerment #SocialImpact
