Winter activities at our Youth Project

Coordinator: Benny – youth@lifecycle.org.uk

Our youth activities at Felix Road Adventure Playground, The Vench, and The Ranch have been bustling with learn-to-ride sessions and bike care. We’ve also been handing out free bike lights to keep young people lit and safe during the darker months!

Our adventure playground activities couldn’t be possible without our amazing volunteers! They’ve been helping us build bikes for young people who do not have access to a bike at home, and keeping our 'pool bikes' maintained, so children can borrow and ride whilst at the playgrounds.

We’re currently looking for a volunteer to join us at our Southmead Adventure Playground sessions. Please share with anyone that may be interested in applying!
