The Archway Project is a registered charity based in South London which works with young people who are in care, who suffer abuse or neglect at home or who are in danger of social exclusion.   Archway provides support and guidance to steer young people away from crime, and to provide them with qualifications and skills necessary to help them secure work. The project has found that getting teenagers interested in motorcycling has proved a hit, and now most of its work is based around repairing, recycling and maintaining motorbikes, which members then go on to ride on legal off-road tracks around the country. Nick Gale Customs has been discussing the possibility of starting a local youth workshop for underprivileged kids to collaborate in the building of a project custom bike. When the company was contacted by the Archway Project, their plans proved to be exactly what NGCC had in mind. The Variety Club’s children’s charity have agreed to back the project and to auction the finished bike at one of its high-profile dinners. A group of lads aged 14-15 years attended the first workshop at Nick Gale Customs at the end of September, where it was decided that their first custom build would be a chopper called ‘Purple Haze’. The lads will be instructed step-by-step on the construction of their chop; then, at the end of February, they will build the bike on stage, in front of an audience, at the London International Custom Show. Good Luck lads!

Hi

Catch22, who I'm organising a charity golf day for in March run a similar scheme in Gravesend, it differs as it is cars and bikes and a fully working garage, they train the youngesters up and help them build their own cars and bikes.
