Ontrak Community Initiative
Education & Skills
Money will help purchase parts needed to refurbish bicycles to give to more young people.
About this cause
We run an alternative education programme aimed at NEET (Not in education, employment or training) children aged 11-18. The students are progressed through NOCN Introduction to Motor Mechanics. The charity also runs a bicycle recycling programme, this is where we receive bicycles from the local waste recycling centres in Bradford, the students then refurbish the bicycles and then they are given out to schools, youth groups, social services, asylum seekers in West Yorkshire. Last year the charity gave out 1901 bicycles to 51 different organisations.
How this cause brings people in the community together
It will get more children active, also the students are refurbishing the bicycles so are helping their communities as well
