DFN Project Search South Ayrshire
Date: February 13, 2025
Biosphere Bikes is excited to announce our partnership with DFN Project SEARCH South Ayrshire, an inspiring initiative designed to support young adults (ages 18-29) of diverse abilities in gaining valuable workplace experience.
This program was a collaborative effort between Ayrshire College, Girvan Youth Trust, and the National Trust for Scotland, aiming to provide these individuals with the skills and confidence needed for future employment.
The participants were an incredible help to our team, working diligently on various tasks such as tidying up our garage and counting bikes, ensuring that our operations ran smoothly. Their hard work and dedication were truly appreciated.
We were proud to be part of a project that not only empowered young people but also strengthened our local community by supporting local charities like ours.

Future Mechanics
Biosphere Bikes was proud to partner with Girvan Academy to deliver a unique 6-week Future Mechanics course for students. This exciting opportunity allowed children from Girvan Academy to learn the essential skills needed to maintain and care for their bicycles, with hands-on experience that would serve them well for years to come.
Each Wednesday, the sessions were expertly led by our skilled engineer, Walter, who generously volunteered his time to teach the students. Walter's wealth of knowledge and experience ensured that each participant received top-quality instruction and gained valuable insights into bike maintenance and repair.
Through this course, students deepened their understanding of bike mechanics and acquired practical skills in keeping their bikes in optimal condition.
