Welcome to the Bike project

Our mission is simple, to get refugees cycling! We are a community of refugees, mechanics, staff and volunteers. We collect donations of second-hand bikes, fix them together at our workshop, and then donate them to asylum seeking refugees. A proportion of the bikes that we receive are sold through our online shop to generate funds, the proceeds of which support The Bike Project, and ensure our long-term sustainability.

There are approximately 13,500 asylum seekers that flee to London each year and almost 27,500 bikes are abandoned in the same period. Our mission is to match the two.

The Bike Project is going through a significant period of growth, turning over £1.5 million in 2020. We are expanding the delivery of bike donations, Pedal Power and Bike Buddies whilst developing our retail arm, The Bike Shop.

We are looking for a Marketing Executive to work within the Marketing and Fundraising team, creating organic content and campaigns, as well as assist with events, while taking responsibility for reporting and analytics.

To apply, please send your CV by 05 August July 2021, together with a cover letter that addresses the following questions. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered. 

1) Tell us about your experience communicating with people or tell us about your experience using social media in a professional setting. What interests you about using this experience at the Bike Project?

2) Describe an event you have been involved in. What did you do and what was the result?

3) 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
