XO Bikes is the first venture from Onwards & Upwards, a charity set up to break the cycle of re-offending.

We train and hire prison leavers, giving them the skills to become professional bike mechanics.

From our workshop in Lewisham, SE London, we refurbish donated bikes. All profits from bike sales go towards training and hiring more prison leavers.

I completed the course and I volunteer with the charity, I would like to raise some money to help others get the skills they need to break the cycle of reoffending
