A Range of Voluntary Roles - We Welcome Women* to our Workshops

Bike for Good
VO102055

Come and join Bike for Good's community, everyone is welcome. We believe that cycling is the most effective and sustainable form of transport and that it enhances our chances for a healthy life and environment. Our bike sales from donated and refurbished bikes support our health and wellbeing community projects all over Glasgow.

Volunteers play a very important role in supporting our mission: refurbishing bicycles and promoting cycling as a viable means of transport. Our volunteers currently support us with bike rides, cycle training, stripping and building bikes, van driving, administration, the shop floor, and much more! We have many existing volunteer opportunities and are also open to creating roles for people who bring unique skills to Bike for Good.

Women* can come along and learn about bike mechanics whilst helping save bikes from landfill. You don’t need to have previous experience, you just need an interest and enthusiasm to learn. Our instructors will support and guide you, whatever your knowledge and skill level - you will learn something each time you volunteer with us. Our volunteers care about the environment and take pride in rebuilding bikes. In doing so, they help provide fun and freedom again to people of all ages in our local community. As a thank you, we will offer you a variety of training opportunities.

*We welcome women of all backgrounds. Our definition of Women includes Trans/Intersex women, and non-binary people. Our instructors are focused on providing an empowering experience to learners.

Experience required

Bike Refurbishment: No skills required - just enthusiasm for bikes and learning bike mechanic skills - come in and have a chat and we can take it from there.
Rides: If you want to help with our rides, it would be great if you are a confident cyclist. If you are not, don’t worry, come and join our community rides and build your confidence.
Driving: Volunteer van drivers must provide a copy of their driving licence at induction.
