The Botley Bikers is a group of cyclists who go out several times per week to deliver food and toiletries to people experiencing homelessness and vulnerable housing in Oxford. We focus on healthy food (milk, fruit, veg, eggs, bread, cheese) but also deliver tinned food, sweets, wipes, women’s hygiene products and other toiletries. Last year we delivered more than 3000 pieces of fruit and 2000 pints of milk! Read about a typical Botley Bikers delivery. At the moment we are going out Thursdays 4-6pm and Sundays 3-5pm.

We need more volunteers! Robust sense of humour essential, as is an ability to cycle. Please contact riki@phonecoop.coop or 07759 135811 if you would like to go out with us for a trial run.
