Don't let dust settle on your old bike, donate it to a local charity
No-one needs reminding that household incomes are being squeezed, but even if you feel unable to donate to a favourite charity at the moment there's still a way you can help others. If you have an old bike taking up space in your shed or garage, why not donate it for a good cause?
Bicycles donated at any of Surrey's Community Recycling Centres will either be sold, with a donation to a range of local charities, or passed to one of the county's Bike Projects who will assess, and refurbish the bike to make it ready for a new home. And thanks to site operators SUEZ, until the end of July, one of the charitable causes to benefit from the scheme will be displaced Ukrainian families.
Bike scheme for Ukrainians closing date 7 July 2022
The draw for the bike scheme for Ukrainians has now closed. But donations of bikes will still be accepted as detailed above.
