Tell us about a time you supported volunteers to raise money towards a target. Did they  manage to hit their target? How did you go about supporting them?

Please also tell us why you are interested in the refugee sector (include any challenges you have had to overcome in your own life which you feel are relevant)

We particularly encourage applications from women, disabled, and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, and those who have personal experience of being a refugee.

Thank you for your interest in the Bike Project and best of luck with your application

Best Wishes

Jem Stein

CEO
