Kid's bike to give away

[DaveR]

Any suggestions as to where I can donate a kid's bike and hopefully make somebody's Christmas a bit happier? It's a 16" wheel girl's bike originally bought from Decathlon, in good condition. I checked with the folks at the hostel on Barry Road but they thought a bit problematic due to space limitations etc. I could just stick it on here but I'm afraid past experience has made me a bit cynical and I suspect many things given away are re-sold in due course. Thanks

what age is it for?

Can't think of anywhere in the UK at the moment, but how about donating a bike to communities in Africa - by dropping it into Halfords in Brixton ?

Perhaps you could try contacting either the Peckham Food Bank or the Salvation Army in Camberwell. Both take donations of other items and may take extras at Christmas time or, if not, know of a charity that does. They have been really helpful when I have wanted to donate items in the past.

What a kind thought, Bessemer Grange are looking for donations of bikes: http://bessemergrangeprimary.co.uk/bessemer-bikes/

Donating it to a local school is a nice idea.

These guys have just moved to Crossthwaite Ave, just up the road from Bessemer Grange and may be interested.

I've heard good things about them when they were in Hackney
