Trustees’ Annual Report for the period 1[st] April 2023 to 31[st] March 2024
Charity name: Maidenhead Cycle Hub
Charity registration number: 1164172
Objectives and Activities
Our objectives:
-
Promoting safe and affordable cycling within our borough
-
Reuse and recycle bikes to protect our environment
-
Encourage cycling for better physical, mental and environmental health
Key activities undertaken to support these objectives:
-
Refurbishing donated bikes, which are offered to local residents at cost-effective prices to lower the cost of owning a bike
-
Providing bicycle servicing to local residents so they are safer to ride
-
Providing a shop in Maidenhead town centre for the sale of bikes and accessories and provision of information about local cycling.
-
Organising and promoting organised rides for local residents to encourage them to cycle more and increase knowledge of local routes
-
Attending local events to promote cycling and offer corporate Dr Bike maintenance checks
-
All our bikes are donated by local residents or received as abandoned bikes from the police or rail stations. This reduces the number of unused bikes and minimises the number of bikes sent to landfill.
We recognise the contribution made by volunteers in leading organised rides, staffing our shop and assisting in the workshop.
We confirm the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
