Lichfield Re:Cycle

I’m not sure how many of you who read my blog live nearby by hello to any of you who do and for those who are thinking where on earth is Lichfield, well I’m with you there, having never heard of it till I moved here at 12. However it is cathedral city, situated in Staffordshire – not too far from Birmingham.

One of the great things about Lichfield is its want to help residences in need, there have been times in my life where I have leaned on a number of the services, charities in the area kindly offer.

Earlier this week I was emailed about a local scheme, one I had never heard of before, but has actually been going for a number of years now; Lichfield Re:Cycle.

What is Lichfield Re:Cycle?

Run by a small group of volunteers Lichfield Re:Cycle aims to give unloved bikes a new lease of life and loan them free of charge, for as long as needed, to the people of Lichfield.

The people behind Re:Cycle work on the donated bikes in their own time, in their own gardens or sheds and then do their best to find the perfect bike for those in need. It doesn’t matter why you need to borrow a bike, you could be trying to get the kids to school, get to work yourself or just want to get out and about town more, you can even just be in the area for a short stay you don’t have to live here permanently to take advantage of the scheme.

If this scheme sounds up your street, or if you think you can donate to them make sure you head over to the website to get hold of the contact details and of course you can keep up to date with all the goings on, on Facebook, while the Lichwheeld blog is the place to find out about all things bike related in the Lichfield district.
