A new project has been launched in North Norfolk - providing Ukrainian refugees with access to bikes.

The scheme's been set up by the local council, working with Sport England and Active Norfolk.

'Wonky Wheels', based in Hethersett, is donating the bikes which have been restored and repaired by volunteers.

Oksana Croom, Ukrainian Community Support Officer, NNDC, said:

“We’re very glad to receive the bikes from the Wonky Wheels team, and this is going to be very helpful for our Ukrainian families and people who live in rural areas to get places, and they’ll just be very glad to have this opportunity to explore our beautiful district.”
