The tools were donated to local schools by the charitable trust Up-Cycles. Chris founded the trust and is its project director.

The Purpose of the Up-Cycles Charitable Trust is:

1. To improve health and well-being in the Otago and Southland region by promoting cycling.

2. To make the riding of bikes accessible to everyone in the community including those who cannot afford to buy or maintain a bike.

A huge thank you to Chris and the trust for this generous donation of essential biking tools.

Watch this space as Chris is also helping our school with another project which is totally student-led. We will share more about this in next week's newsletter.
