School donations

In November 2014, Halfords announced a new scheme to donate cycling equipment to primary schools in disadvantaged areas. In its first year, the new scheme will donate children's bikes and new bike helmets to schools in the eight cycling cities of Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford and Norwich. Schools are invited to apply at www.halfordscompany.com/responsibility/community. The bikes are collected from the trade-in events held at Halfords stores and reconditioned by trainees at the Cycle Repair Academy in Onley Prison.
