We continue to be Bristol's most comprehensive Community Bike Project, repairing and relocating unwanted bicycles. We aim to help people from all walks of life to get out on two wheels, and for it to be an inclusive and empowering experience. 2022-23 was a year of consilidation after the challeneges of the covid-19 pandemic and a move to new premises in 2021. All of our community programmes were operating at full capacity again in 2022-23, enabing us to acheive the following:- Provided refurbished bikes free of charge to people who really need them through our Earn-A-Bike programmes, giving out nearly 250 bikes in 2021-2022, and at the same time helping recipients to develop basic mechanic skills. By the end of 2022-23 we had helped a total of 2,780 people to become independently mobile since 2008 through Earn-A-Bike.- Carried out over 300 free repairs for people who had already received bikes through our programmes, or would be eligible for them.- Continued to service the fleet of all ability bikes at the Bristol Family Cycling Centre, supporting cycling to be more accessible.- Benefitted from generous donations of more than 800 bikes which we could refurbish and re-home, diverting them from landfill.- Continued to offer volunteering opportunities, skilling people up in bicycle mechanics, and at the same time benefitting from the generosity and enthusiam of our volunteers. During 2022-23 our volunteers gave almost 4,000 hours to The Project.- Provided a safe, non-judgemental workshop space that is co-operatively run and inclusive.- Enabled 535 people to maintain their own bikes and develop their mechanic skills at our DIY workshops.
The company’s stakeholders are paying and non-paying project-users, volunteers, paid staff, directors, co-op members, members of our local community and partner/referral organsiations. All of these groups are encouraged to participate in The Project’s running – both strategically and operationally.We held four co-op general meetings and one AGM during the year, which were all well-attended. These allowed stakeholders to air their views and make decisions on strategic matters. These meetings were held in person, after having been online during the covid-19 pandemic.Additionally, operational meetings and regular meetings of various working groups were held to manage day to day issues. The following working groups met throughout the year:Representation and diversityPremisesHuman resourcesSustainable FundingThe Premises working group was particularly active, as we continued improvements to the premises purchased in 2021 and explored opportunities to improve the surrounding physical environment. The Premises Working Group has continued to lead community outreach activities to ensure that our neighbours understand what The Project is and does and to encourage their involvement.
