During our financial year 01/12/23 to 30/11/24 our achievements have been as follows: Our Welcome wheels project has continued to run for another year getting over 100 bicycles out to refugees and alyssum seekers through funding, supplying a bicycles and safety package, this project is highly popular, it allows us to meet new members of the community, when the bicycles are collected. Also as we work closely with partner originations we have created great links across Norwich. We continue to run 3 volunteer session each week running throughout the year. The session our popular with a wide range of people (retired, people suffering with mental health issues, unemployed looking to learn new skills and refuges), the sessions provide an opportunity for them to develop skills, socialise and work in a team. In exchange Bicycle Links offers the volunteers a safe environment, someone to talk to, lunch, and references for job applications; Continued to recycle unwanted bicycles, refurbish them and sell them at a reasonable cost to people who need transport to get to jobs, college or university. This benefits the environment (recycling and reusing materials) as well as the local population (providing reliable second-hand bikes); We have seen an uptake in customers wanting to support this side of our project and donating higher end bicycles knowing the profits from the sales will help us. Our cycle link project was renewed for another year, allowing beneficiaries from partner organisations to receive a discount voucher for a large discount on a bicycle and safety package, this has allowed people seeking employment away of accessing services that may have been to far to reach before, for a lot smaller cost than if they had tried to buy a new bicycle, we hope to continue this for another year as well. We have also maintained our trading activities which underwrite and support all our social impact projects, aiming to keep our prices as fair priced as possible allowing as many people from the community to keep their bicycles running. We also partnered with our local university to offer discounted repairs to help students keep their bicycles running, allowing them to use a greener, cheaper method of transport while studying.
Our stakeholders are: Our volunteers and employees Local people who use our services Public and voluntary sector organisations that refer people to our projects or request help or donations of items We now have regular chats with our volunteers to see how they might suggest we change the sessions to help them better, including a questioner created that volunteers are asked to fill out during there time with us to have data on how we can change the sessions to improve for them and future people. We have monthly staff meetings to make sure that our working environment and any staff concerns are addressed. These include taking about how the shop runs, to looking at figures to help staff understand how we run, we are also trying out smaller department meetings to see how this can help with the running of the shop. Regular consultations on any social projects with the partner originations help make sure they are running smoothly and benefitting the right people. The Directors have engaged in conferences and meetings of the local volunteering sector. Also subscribing to social enterprise groups to learn how better to help the community. We also had an open day to show customers how our volunteer sessions worked and used this as a time to ask customers to give us feedback on why they use us and anything they might like us to do differently.
