Glasgow Eco Trust are taking part in the Big Give’s Small Charity Week to raise £5,000 in just 1 week!

These funds will be used to help refurbish and upgrade our De’ils On Wheels community bike workshop.

De’ils On Wheels provides a space for people to volunteer to help reuse and recycle unwanted bikes that other people in the local community choose to donate. We are then able to provide refurbished bikes and bike repairs at affordable prices to the local community including free bikes and accessories to those unable to afford a bike. 

Donations during Small Charity Week (23 to 30 June) will be generously matched by Big Give’s Champions during the campaign to make double the difference! So a £5 donation becomes £10, a £10 donation becomes £20 and a £25 donation becomes £50! Double the difference! And we can claim Gift Aid on eligible donations too!

We’re looking to raise a total of £5,000. In order to access the £2,500 we have in the matching pot, we need to raise £2,500 in online donations. We hope everyone will give generously to help us reach our target and enable us to carry on the work we all feel so passionately about.

You can get involved by visiting BigGive.org and make a donation from midday on Mon 23 Jun to midday on Monday 30 June when the campaign will close.
