Our Service
We take old, unused bikes and give them a new lease on life. Our dedicated teams of volunteers and young people work together to refurbish these bikes, learning valuable skills and earning AQA qualifications in the process. The restored bikes are then:
- Donated to local families in need,
- Used in partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester
- Or sold, with all proceeds reinvested into the Positive Cycles project to purchase equipment and parts.
Ability Wheelz
We also provide a large variety of specially adapted bikes available for hire, these are aimed towards people with disabilities, including double bikes, trikes, go karts, normal bikes and many more that can be ridden around the award-winning Alexandra park for up to 2 hours

Workshop and Community Impact
Our bike workshop also collaborates with the Youth Justice Service, offering young offenders the chance to complete unpaid community work. We also work with Positive Futures (our alternative provision) to support young people’s development. Through cleaning and repairing donated bikes, they gain hands-on experience, build confidence, and earn AQA qualifications, all while contributing to a meaningful cause.
Fundraising / Donations
As a charity, we rely greatly on donations and fundraising to provide Young Carers in Oldham with a break from their caring responsibilities to reduce social isolation, increase positive mental health and physical well-being.
We are incredibly grateful for the donations received, which allow us to continue to provide much needed support to the Young Carers in Oldham.
