Our Bike Library has received funding from BBC Children in Need
Foothold Cymru is delighted to have received funding for our Bike Library located at the Lord Arthur Rank Centre in Llanelli.
This youth-led project funded by BBC Children in Need will run from 2026 to 2029.
The project supports young people aged 14–18 who are living in poverty and are at the margins of education, employment or training.
Each year, 30 young people will complete accredited, hands-on training in bike repair, safety and maintenance, turning donated bikes into valuable community resources.
Every participant keeps a bike they have refurbished themselves, removing a transport barrier and opening up new opportunities; surplus bikes go into our community Bike Library.
The project is based at the Lord Arthur Rank Centre and works in partnership with schools, Pupil Referral Units, home education networks, asylum seeker services, care agencies and community groups.
