Students support for the Blackwood Bike Shed
Luca Davies, a Year 9 student at Immanuel College presented a cheque of $640 to the Blackwood Bike Shed as part of a fund raising community event which he undertook around a school project – “Serving the community “.
The task involved organizing a sponsored bike ride with people from his local community supporting the ride at Belair National Park. Lucas said that he wanted to support the Blackwood Bike Shed as it was providing bicycles to refugee and other community groups. He also said it was good to see bicycles being recycled rather than going to landfill.
The cheque was received by the Blackwood Bike Coordinator, Peter Jones.
The funds will go towards providing specialist tools to enable Volunteers to prepare bikes for distribution.
