Destinations – cycle project
The Destinations cycle project is a wonderful alliance between NPAC and the Newark Magnus school to renovate the hundreds of cycles and wheelchairs from U.K police property stores and hospital storerooms for use by people in Africa.
The project which is based in an NPAC warehouse in Newark, Notts allows young people in Newark to work with teachers and practical people from the community to supply good solid reliable cycles to African people for free.
Cycles are the only means of transport for thousands of Africans and the Destinations project will have adapted them with luggage racks forward and aft for the carriage of maize, cotton and all manner of cargo.

The unit also houses the NPAC warehouse, the MAPLE project, the Cinderella wedding dress project and has scope for many more exciting and useful outreach opportunities for local youth.
