Our Mission

Back 2 Bikes emerged from a local conversation about how to encourage cycling in Stafford and support those seeking employment. Launched in 2004, we've evolved into a registered charity dedicated to:

Recycling and refurbishing pre-owned bicycles to offer affordable transportation options.
Providing supported volunteering and work placement opportunities to aid the unemployed in acquiring valuable skills.
Encouraging a healthy lifestyle through cycling accessibility.
Promoting sustainable waste reduction by giving bicycles a new life instead of sending them to landfills.
