Killough Volunteering Day

Eleven volunteers joined us to work on bikes destined for Africa
We had a very successful Employer assisted Volunteering (ESV) day on 22 September 09 in a community hall in Killough, near Downpatrick, given to us for the day by a local community project. Eleven enthusiastic staff from the Big lottery Fund spent the day repairing bikes under our guidance. Even though most of these staff had no previous mechanical experience they managed to refurbish 26 bikes. Another coincidence here is that the Big Lottery Fund provides finance to 'Awards for All' so it was great that their staff could see how the money was being spent.
