WHA is being supported by a partnership between Easthall Residents Association (ERA) and Urban Fox Programme to create a pop-up bike repair hub where residents can bring run down and disused bikes to be repaired by qualified bike engineers.
WHA has donated £1,000 to the initiative which will see bikes get a new lease of life, while also creating a donation point for people who wish to gift any bikes which they no longer have use for.
Both ERA and Urban Fox invested in training their staff and volunteers to achieve Gold and Silver Velotech mechanics certificates. The skilled team will repair and replace parts, as well as giving the bikes a clean and shine before it is handed back to its owners. Donated bikes will also undergo a complete refurb before being gifted back to the community.
The community project, which runs every Thursday 12-4pm in WHA’s car park, will also be engaging with young people in the area who are interested in learning about mechanical engineering. Urban Fox and ERA will be offering training opportunities to aspiring mechanics who want to improve their skills and understanding, guiding them through the process.
The bike hub will run every Thursday Midday - 4pm until 8th July 2021.
