I work at homelessness charity Crisis at 66 Commercial Street - sure loads of you know where that is judging by the number of unigears i see flying by on my fag breaks...
Well there's a bicycle workshop we run which is on from 2 - 5 every thursday in the basement workshop. Have just come back from it today and it's a good laugh. It's mainly aimed at homeless people, but the charity's all about integration so anyone's welcome to come in off the street and get involved (the only restriction is if there's enough space/stands). Workshopees help one another through their various bike problems, and there are stands and a (slightly patchy) selection of tools etc. Fixed gears are often wheeled in and tinkered with.
If you don't fancy coming along to work on your bike but have some spare bike stuff that is still usable and want to donate that's always welcome. All I would say is if you're there and you're not homeless then use the tools but pay for and bring along your own parts.
