Grassroots groups could arrange for free bike to be delivered to child this Christmas

Shortly before we went to press, more information came to light about 20 recycled ‘Santa Bikes’ that are to be donated as Christmas gifts to children who would otherwise go without and that a brief nomination process for the cycles is now underway.

In a set-up flagged up by this newspaper several months ago, we told how Wee Cycle Cumbernauld wanted to provide a festive treat for youngsters.

Now the organisation has teamed up with Cornerhouse House Centre to identify underprivileged families in the local area who would benefit.

Those wishing to request a bike are asked to email [email protected]. They are asked to specify the the name, age and gender of the child that the bike would be gifted to and a one or two sentence summary detailing how receiving the bike would be beneficial to the family in question.

The closing date for submissions is 12noon on Monday (December 6)
