Bike Appeal – The Bike Project
At our home game against Hungerford Town, we will be collecting unwanted bicycles to be repaired and refurbished for refugees across London.
Towards the end of April, football clubs across the country – from the Premier League to grassroots refugee teams – will lay aside their rivalries and come together to celebrate the contribution refugee players have made, and continue to make, to the beautiful game. The ‘Football Welcomes’ weekend, promoted by Amnesty International UK, is scheduled for the weekend we play away at Weston Super-Mare.
We are delighted to announce that Dulwich Hamlet will be kick off this year’s campaign at our home game against Hungerford Town.
Following on from our successful bike collection for refugees in 2016, we will be holding another one on Saturday 13th April 2019.
The football club will be teaming up with Denmark Hill based charity - The Bike Project. The Bike Project take in donated bikes and repair to them to a high standard, before giving them out to refugees and asylum seekers who are settling in London.
This gives them social mobility and enables them to get out and about and find work, without the worry of expensive transport.
If you have a spare bike you no longer need, please bring it to the match and their team of mechanics will get to work on it and put it to good use.
Please note we cannot take children's bikes or bikes with broken frames.
The Project also sells bikes to raise money for their work so if you are looking for a bike there is no better place to visit - https://thebikeproject.co.uk/
If you have a bike to donate please bring it to Champion Hill on Saturday 13th April 2019 and it will be stored safely and picked up after the game. We will announce an exact drop off point closer to the game.
