This week the Firetail team swapped laptops for Allen keys and spent our annual away day volunteering at The Bike Project in Deptford.
Our work is all about supporting charities and mission-driven organisations. Our annual volunteering day is an important moment to step out as a team, see what others in our sector are doing and contribute directly.
The Bike Project refurbishes donated second-hand bikes and gives them for free to refugees and people seeking asylum in London and Birmingham. The people they support come from all over the world and are of all ages. A bike makes it easier and more affordable to get to appointments, classes, work and friends, and to feel at home in a new city.
The day is also part of our commitment to 1% for the Planet, through which we give 1% of our annual revenue in time or money to organisations working on environmental causes.
A huge thank you to everyone at The Bike Project for having us.
