A group of Rotorua volunteers is rebuilding unwanted bicycles to give to less fortunate children in the community.
Linton Park Community Centre volunteers set up the initiative after seeing the success of a similar project undertaken by Mokoia Community Association.
Linton Park Community Centre Co-ordinator Rick Mansell said a healthy community was one where everybody worked together and helped each other.
"The project benefits everybody involved. The volunteers are doing something good for the community which they love and the less fortunate get a restored bicycle for a small koha (donation).
"It's a win win situation all the way around and we would like to continue providing this service for as long as we can."
