The initiatives aim to engage youth in the world of cycling while fostering a sense of community and environmental responsibility.

Youth Volunteering Opportunities: Cycling 4 All invites passionate young individuals aged 14-18 to join them for an enriching volunteering experience.

The program offers various benefits, including:

• Qualifications: Earn a bike maintenance qualification to boost your skills.
• Site Work: Contribute to your community by participating in on-site activities.
• Guidance and Support: Receive guidance every step of the way from experienced mentors.
• Refreshments Provided: Enjoy complimentary refreshments during sessions.

Sessions will take place on Tuesdays, welcoming both individual volunteers aged 14- 18 and school groups aged 11-16.
