Volunteer with Us

Volunteers play a vital role in the day to day operations of the community bikerys, as a small charity we simply wouldn't be able to manage to do what we do without them!

We have an active team of volunteers that support the day to day operations at the community bikerys in Shipley and Bradford. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the team and helping us to reach more beneficiaries - we simply wouldn't manage without them!

Our wonderful volunteers have a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences but are all focussed on working together, skill sharing in an empowering, inclusive environment to support the work of MCF in the community.

Our volunteer roles are varied (although there is a bit of a focus on bikes and cycling) and the time commitment can be arranged on an individual basis. All training will be given so bike maintenance or retail experience isn't essential, all we are looking for is an enthusiasm for what we do and a desire to help out.  

Check out the full list of volunteer opportunities 

We are always keen to welcome new volunteers and have a range of different tasks that you can get stuck into depending on your interests and availability. If you are interested in joining MCF as a volunteer please complete this short form and we will be in touch shortly! 

We can currently only recruit community volunteers to our projects in West Yorkshire. If you would like to support MCF but live a bit further afield then there may be other ways you can still help out.

You could organise a bike collection in your local community or become a local fundraising volunteer.

    Margaret Carey Foundation (MCF) promotes restorative justice in prisons. We set up and support prison workshops that provide trainees with meaningful work. We collect unused and unwanted bicycles and wheelchairs and bring them to the workshops for restoration and recycling. Once refurbished, all the wheelchairs and a proportion of the bikes are donated to people in need in the UK and overseas.
