About us
Who we are
R-evolution started October 2014, becoming a UK registered charity 6th January 2015. The concept began by giving prison workers an opportunity gain cycle mechanic training by working on local donors' bikes to refurbish them, which would then be distributed into the community. This gave the prisoners a sense of 'giving back' to their communities whilst developing skills to help them get back into employment.
Since then, we have expanded into both cycle and horticulture training for the public; with community workshops in Hull, East Riding, North and North East Lincolnshire. Our purple gazebo and team of mechanics and volunteers can often be spotted all around the Humber and even up to Bridlington, helping people get back into cycling through free cycle repairs, loans and training.
Our culture and values
Our vision is that people have the tools and skills to develop themselves, their spaces and communities.
Our mission is to create opportunities that encourage engagement, participation and fulfilment. We acheive this through innovative, creativer and inclusive services and projects.
Values : Community, Creativity, Empowerment, Integrity.
