  • Fundraiser Touring European Stone Age sites, by MCF bike!

    Fundraiser Touring European Stone Age sites, by MCF bike!

    I have been riding MCF refurbished street bikes for several years. I love the fact that the restoration of the 80s vintage cycles I am interested in has given offenders the chance to gain useful and transferable skills which they can use when they complete their sentences. The MCF concept of recycling bikes which may otherwise end as waste whilst simultaneously training interested people is my main reason for my support...plus some of the bikes MCF refit are beautiful!

    Margaret Carey Foundation (MCF) promotes restorative justice in prisons. We set up and support prison workshops that provide trainees with meaningful work.
