Bowland Bikes CIC crowdfunding site is now LIVE with matched funding projects and a warm spaces grant from Lancashire County Council We provide not only a friendly service, but a sanctuary, its why our staff, hub users and guests voted to provide mental health first aider training for example. During the pandemic, the local community needed a venue for some quiet time, or a chat with staff or visitors in a safe, warm location, telling us that they didn’t feel they could relax / or be safe, anywhere else. As a result, we then started to uptick our community based work, creating an official “Warm Space” under Lancashire County Council’s scheme, we are now busy raising funds, seeking partners, sponsorship and grants to provide this facility for more days, longer hours, and to provide healthy hot food & drink.
