Empowering communities – one bicycle at a time
By refurbishing and donating bikes, we enable individuals the freedom to travel, connect, and access new opportunities.
As a green initiative, we save bikes from landfill, creating a positive impact on both people and the planet, while fostering supportive communities united by their shared love for cycling.
How We Make a Difference
Up-Cycled U CIC is a community-driven initiative dedicated to taking in donated bikes, refurbishing them to be safe and fit for purpose, and then donating them to local refugees and low-income individuals in Cannock & South Staffordshire.
We believe in the power of cycling to change lives. Through Up-Cycled U CIC, we help people access bicycles and build a stronger community. Here’s how you can get involved

Our Impact
Social Benefits
Our work helps refugees and low-income individuals overcome
transport barriers, improving their ability to access essential services, find
employment, and engage in social activities. By providing bikes, we empower people
to break out of isolation and integrate more fully into the community.
Environmental Benefits
By refurbishing and recycling bikes, we reduce waste and
promote sustainable transport options. We encourage cycling as a healthy, low-cost,
and eco-friendly way to move around the local area.
