Learning Partnerships - Meanwood Valley

Learning Partnerships - Meanwood Valley

As a keen mountain biker, I was impressed by an article about the Meanwood Valley urban farm in Leeds, where there is an excellent little scheme that teaches kids how to repair abandoned mountain bikes. They repair two bikes: one they get to keep and one goes to a community project, for example a local church is donating them to Romania for district nurses to use on their rounds.
