There is a great opportunity to get yourself a great value bike at the Barnes Charity Bike Sale this weekend. The sale takes place on Saturday 16 September.
It is taking place at St Mary's Church, SW13 and the organisers have set themselves the target of selling over 200 bikes in 150 minutes.
Adults, children's, teen bikes - even a couple of tricycles and folding bikes will be available.
Make sure you bing a lock for your new bike, and then you can visit the Barnes Community Association food fair on Barnes Green.
The sale opens at 9.30am but a queue tends to form earlier for the best choice before that.
Bikes were donated and then refurbished by volunteers with all proceeds going to charity.
Since this bike sale started over 1,930 bikes have been sold raising over £120,000 for charities. This year the event is supporting FiSH Neighbourhood Care, Glass Door winter night shelter for the homeless, Under Tree Schools, Age UK Barnes Green Centre, Castelnau Community Centre as well as St Mary’s Church.
Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site. |
