We're looking for people interested in bike mechanics to help people to repair their cycles or fix up second-hand bikes donated by members of the public at our community bike workshop(s).
The time commitment would be a four or five hour daytime shift every week or fortnight (this can be flexible).
Brighton Bike Hub is a non-profit that aims to help everybody access cycling by running adult cycle training, a drop-in bike repair workshop, selling affordable second-hand bikes and parts, and running group cycle rides. We always need more volunteers at our two workshop locations in Brighton to help fix up bikes.Feel free to drop into the workshop to get a feel for what it's like - we're open Tues-Sat, 11am-5/6pm. The address is 26b, St Martin's Place, BN2 3LE.
No experience is necessary as training and support will be provided.
Skills
There are no previous skills or experience necessary, apart from a willingness to interact with the public and an interest in learning about bicycles and bike repairs.
Benefits
You will be part of a friendly and enthusiastic team with monthly volunteer socials and monthly meetings where everyone has a say.
You will help people in the Brighton community to have access to affordable bikes and the ability to repair their own bikes cheaply, increasing access to cycling for all. You will also learn skills about repairing bikes yourself.
You will be encouraging green transport options and making sure old bikes and bike parts aren't wasted, which is great for the environment.
Practical Considerations
The location is easily accessible by public transport. Volunteer hours can be regular or flexible.
When do I need to be available?
| Details | We are open from Tuesday to Saturday and have two shifts per day - 11am to 2pm and 2pm to 5/6pm. You can volunteer for a regular shift or be a floating volunteer. We also have a second workshop which is open to volunteers only on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. |
