About The Bike Project

The Bike Project matches newly arrived refugees without the means or money to get around with the thousands of abandoned bikes in the UK. We’ve been doing this since 2013 and remain focused on ensuring that refugees and people seeking asylum can save money, feel more connected to their community and lead happier and healthier lives. 

Why a bike matters - Most people seeking asylum in the UK are not allowed to work and instead receive an allowance of less than £50 per week to live on. If housed in a place where meals are provided, they get even less – only £8.86 per week. People need to travel regularly to get to Home Office or solicitor appointments and to access other vital services - but travel is expensive. With a typical bus pass costing £20 per week many are forced to make impossible choices. A donated bike can be truly transformative for someone in this situation - it provides a free, sustainable mode of transport, but moreso, it can enable a sense of connection, independence and joy.

The Opportunity

The Bike Project is recruiting four dedicated and dynamic individuals to join the Partnerships and Development Board. We are looking for contributors with a strong commitment to The Bike Project's vision, mission, and values, and excellent communication and interpersonal skills, in line with the strategy agreed by the board. 

This is an opportunity to leverage your expertise and engage your networks to guide the organization’s partnerships, expand its reach, and support fundraising efforts, contributing to the charity’s long-term growth and success.

Ideally the candidate will have experience in at least one of the following areas: 

• Retail or professional services
• Media, digital, marketing 
• The bike industry
• CSR/ESG experience
• Access to an engaged network 
• ​Lived experience of being a refugee in the UK

Together, we can empower refugees with the freedom and independence of a bicycle.
