Dundee Cycle Hub

We encourage people to live healthier lives and reduce car journeys and CO2 emissions through cycling and recycling.

We run two community based projects based in Arbroath and Dundee, Scotland. We are committed to our community and want them involved in everything we do at Cycle Hub which is why we love volunteers! We have a variety of roles of varying lengths of commitment time. Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it.

We have a list of volunteer roles you can choose from, but we are ultimately flexible around you and your available time commitment, experience, interests and goals. We want to make sure we find something that fits you best and offers opportunity for growth, development and progression with us.

In the past, our volunteers have supported us at our events, in our shops and workshops, and with our Bikeability program in schools.
