Organisers behind a Falkirk bike collection scheme say spaces are still available ahead of next month's pick-up.

1st Step, which helps people in the community build confidence, learn new skills and gain independence, is asking residents to donate what they can, with all sizes of bike and scooters accepted, as well as spare parts.

Every donation helps the charity refurbish bikes and get them back on the road, supporting local people who need them most.

The next collection will take place on the afternoon of Monday, August 3, and following that pick-ups will run on the first Monday of every month across the Falkirk area.

Drop-offs are welcome at the 1st Step bike shop in the Howgate Centre, next to Costa Coffee, which is open Monday to Friday, 9am until 4pm (closed for lunch between noon and 1pm).

The shop is also open on the first and last Saturday of each month. People are encouraged to pop in for a chat, browse the current stock of bikes and scooters and meet the team.

A further drop-off point is available at Linlithgow Recycling Centre during normal opening hours, with no booking required. On-site staff will direct donors to the 1st Step cabin.

If residents are unable to drop of their bike in person, they can follow the process below to make their donation.

Anyone wishing to donate should send a photo via the 1st Step Facebook page or email [email protected], and the team will be in touch to confirm and arrange the collection.
