Session Details
FoodCycle Monkchester Cycling Team!
Volunteer cyclists will travel to up to seven supermarkets in Jesmond, Heaton, Byker and Walker to collect surplus food which will then be delivered to Monkchester Community Centre. Cyclists will need a bike, helmet, high-vis jacket (we can provide one if necessary), bike lock and bike lights (when it's dark!).
In order to carry the food, cyclists will either need a bike trailer or pannier bags and/or a large rucksack. We do have two bike trailers which can be shared amongst volunteers.
