BECYCLE Workshop SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation – charity number: SC053291) is a small, wholly volunteer operated and donations based community bike workshop that provides a free place to access practical help, education, learning and advice for maintaining and repairing bikes. The workshop also provides free bikes to children (u18) and loans out bikes to anyone, with a fully returnable deposit system. It is currently open twice a week (8 hours), every week of the year, no matter the weather. Every person that volunteers at the workshop becomes a bike mechanic first and foremost - no matter how much experience you have just now with bikes or tools. You’ll learn quickly and surprise yourself with the amount you can take onboard - and you’ll be well supported by volunteers with decades of experience at fixing bikes and helping people. Don’t worry though about being the odd one out, none of us get paid and never will. In addition further roles we are looking for specialists in are; - Accountant - Fundraising - Graphic Design - Social Media Manager - Videographer On top of the two in-person sessions (Monday and Wednesday 4-8pm), most volunteers offer their time and expertise in a variety of areas that keep the workshop ticking over, or assist specific functions that align with their background and experience such as driving, photography or social media. We are formed of a group of dozens of volunteers from various backgrounds, ages, life experiences and nationalities. Our greatest strength is the trust we have in each other and encouraging the individual talents of each volunteer, that help make the workshop what it is today. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, pop down to our workshop at 21-23 High Street, Aberdeen, AB24 3EB between 4-8pm any Monday or Wednesday for a chat. Volunteers have also used their time and work at BECYCLE to leverage themselves into new careers, university courses and support job applications. Expect lots of social events, casual group rides, BBQ’s, bonfires, days at the beach, eating together, nights out, meeting lots of new people and getting dangerously addicted to bikes…. For more information please contact Scott Goodall, BECYCLE Workshop Trustee at email: becycleworkshop@gmail.com or telephone: 07743731990.
