At The Bike Project we provide an innovative solution to one of the most pressing problems facing asylum seekers and refugees on arrival to the UK: access to transport when living on a limited income. 

Our mission is simple: each year we match refugees and asylum seekers with the many thousands of bikes that go abandoned or unloved around the country. We then go on to support these new bike owners to realise the emotional, practical and physical benefits of cycling. 9 years since that first bike donation, we are about to donate our 10,000th bike and have expanded the project to include multiple programs, from refugee befriending services to women-only cycling classes.

We have supported tens of thousands of refugees to get access to bikes, learn to cycle and created a community of colleagues, refugees, volunteers and supporters. And we’ve grown rapidly in the last few years, from £720k turnover in 2018, to £2.3m turnover in 2021 and employing almost 40 staff. Despite our success, this is just the start and we are looking for a CEO who will continue to lead The Bike Project on to even greater things!

Who We Are 

Migrateful runs cookery classes led by refugees, asylum seekers and migrants struggling to integrate and access employment. The cookery classes provide ideal conditions not just for learning English and building confidence, but also for promoting contact and cultural exchange with the wider community.

Our Mission

Due to legal, linguistic and social barriers, finding work can be extremely difficult for many migrants. Being unable to provide for themselves and their families has significant negative effects on self-esteem and mental health. Migrateful’s mission is to empower and celebrate refugees and vulnerable migrants on their journey to integration, by supporting them to run their own cookery classes.

Why Work for Us?

Migrateful is a young, award-winning, innovative social enterprise and registered charity. Set up in 2017 by the founder and CEO, Jess Thompson (featured on the Forbes 30 under 30 list), in five years it has grown into an organisation with 84 chefs, 13 staff and 150 volunteers. Our main operation is in London with pilot operations currently in Bristol, Kent & Brighton. Working with us you would be part of a friendly and supportive team, with drive and energy to develop the Migrateful model further, replicate it in other parts of the country and create a fairer, more integrated society.

Why now?

It’s an exciting time to join Migrateful.  We have recently conducted a piece of research to understand how successfully Migrateful classes meet the criteria for ‘contact theory’ which underpins our model. We are also in the process of publishing our first impact report. Our model has now been honed and tested and proven to work, not only in terms of the benefits it brings to vulnerable migrants but also in terms of providing an enjoyable experience for class participants. Our classes foster kinder attitudes towards migrants in the UK, and we want to maximise our impact by implementing it at scale across the country and beyond. In this role you would be in the exciting and crucial position of delivering on this strategic aim in the Bristol area.

Essential 

• Demonstrable commitment to Migrateful’s mission.
