Bikes for Refugees Saturday morning sessions;

  “Bikes for Refugees” works with several  welfare organsiations, who support refugee families settling in Adelaide. The organisations have case workers, who visit the familes, help them settle in, and find out what they need.

If people would like a bike, (for themselves or their children) -  the case worker  places an order with "Bikes for refugees" . We do our best to provide a  bike that’s suitable.  (This can take several weeks). We then  deliver the bike to the organisation, or they collect it from us, and  the case workers take the bikes out to the families.

 Earlier this week, we delivered 20 bikes  to one welfare organisation. We seldom hear much after that, but this week, two  case workers texted  back, and  I'd like to share those messages 

“Hi Mike. Thanks for the bikes. Delivered to one very happy family!”

“Hi Mike. Thanks heaps for those excellent bikes. The clients were absolutely delighted to receive them, so thank you for your help”.

So hereby, passing on the thanks, to the volunteers who work on the bikes, and the donors.

It is always good to hear, our work, is appreciated!

 

Mike Brisco.

Yes, there is more than one form of cycling advocacy. (I report hazards.)
