Bike and Tech Amnesty 2026 Volunteer

Organisation: The Epsom and Ewell Climate Action Network develops and delivers projects to help our communities become more resilient to the effects of Climate Change

We ran a very our first successful Bike Amnesty on Saturday 22/11/2025 which resulted in about 70 bikes and bike accessories being donated which we arranged with Surrey county Councils Active surrey Team to be refurbished and then given FREE to local people who would cycle more if only they could afford their own bike. We want to extend this service in 2026 to a "Bike and Tech Amnesty" which will happen on Saturday 24th October when people will be able to also donate their spare tech so it can be made "data safe" and then refurbished and provided to disadvantaged people. This initiative will also raise funds for local charities.
