The Connection Coalition (CC) was formed in April 2020 as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Anticipating that the nation was at risk of a crisis of disconnection - and a worsening epidemic of loneliness and social isolation - we created a platform for organisations across the country to work collectively to ensure that communities and the country emerge from Covid-19 ready to build and strengthen social relationships.

The past two years have involved growing the membership, supporting them with learning opportunities, and maximising the opportunities to build networks and connections between the members. In the past 12 months we have focussed on testing ideas and capturing our learning which has included listening to our members and better understanding their needs. As a result we have set our intention to move the Connection Coalition from a time-limited project to one we seek to sustain so long as there is a need. That’s where you come in!

As Connection Coalition Manager, you will work closely with our Head of Community Programmes and wider team to help lead and deliver our work supporting organisations who are building connections in communities across the UK. This is an exciting time to join the Foundation, as we develop and embed our new strategy, ensuring the Connection Coalition is integrated in our wider programme of work and well connected with other teams and projects across the Foundation. You’ll achieve this by working collaboratively with the Head of Community Programmes and other Project Managers.

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, which for asylum seekers is as little as £5.66 per day.

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.

10 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 £2.2m turnover in 2021

Despite our successes, this is just the start. The demand from refugees for our work far outstrips our ability to meet it so we are looking to continue to grow until every refugee in the UK has the opportunity to start cycling.

If you want to be a part of that, read on!
