Shared from CCBC Website: Broken bikes put to good use (20 November 2013) An innovative scheme to restore bikes for the local community, involving young people undertaking community reparation with the local Youth Offending Service has pedalled off the starting blocks. The Bike Shed project is funded by the Safer Caerphilly Community Safety Partnership and run by Caerphillys Youth Offending Service in partnership with Gwent Police. The aim of the project is for young people to use community reparation hours to repair and recycle donated old bicycles, which will then be given to deserving families and victims of crime identified via social services, the Youth Offending Service or Gwent Police. Cllr Robin Woodyatt, Cabinet Member for Social Services said, This project is a great example of how partnership working and reparation can really benefit the community. The Youth Offending Service is currently seeking donations of old bicycles which can be utilised for the Bike Shed project. Please call 01495 235623 for further information.
