Hello my name is Mathew. This spring, I will be a student of Edventure Frome’s Start-Up Course which is a free, 10-week, part-time, experiential course in community enterprise.
I’m raising funds to develop a community bicycle workshop in Frome for local people to learn/share skills, to repair, maintain and refurbish bikes - and maybe even make products or art from old bike parts.
As a student I shall be learning skills, playing an active role whilst being mentored at different stages of setting up a community bicycle workshop on the site of The Bike Shed at a local school. As a group we will be putting together different programmes based on what the Frome community wants.
The project is a partnership between Edventure, Critchill School and their Bike Shed, Frome Town Council and other groups. The aim is to get more people in Frome on two wheels more often, to bring people together, upskill people, cut carbon emissions, save land-fill waste and create meaningful employment opportunities.
If you’re able to make a donation of any size for this project I would be incredibly grateful. Even £3 instead of a pint ? I’ll have a water instead !
