One of the best ways you can support our work is to purchase bikes from us, pay us to take part our adult bike workshop or pay us for a private cycle training lesson, all funds from these go back towards all the work we do in the community.
We are always looking for new funding opportunities and you can make a private donation youself via this link if you would like to support our work: www.givey.com/montyscommunityhub
We also are always interested in having new volunteers to join the team, particularly if you have an interest in bike mechanics or/and working with young people we would love to hear from you about what time you may be able to offer us. We very occasionally send out emails for specific funding requests or support required, please do sign up to our mailing list using the form below:
