Yikes! Dismantle now has Trikes!

We are really excited to show everyone our new toys! 

Our Dismantle mechanics have worked really hard over the last few months to develop and complete tricycle modifications. These tricycles enable our BikeRescue and BikeTherapy programs to be holistically inclusive and remove the barriers that certain participants may face around mobility and other physical challenges. 

These tricycles are headed out to Malibu School as an outcome of the BikeTherapy program Dismantle completed last term alongside their educators. We look forward to seeing the three incredible young people ride their handy work for the first time! 

Watch this space for further media around how our tricycles are enabling young people to access their community and increase their independence.

If tricycles are a relevant outcome for you with any potential program, please let us know when you contact to discuss your BikeRescue or BikeTherapy needs.

Dismantle x AIME. Frame of Art.

The finished product!

We are so grateful for our connection with AIME allowing us to provide an opportunity for one of their young up and coming art interns to turn a bare canvas of a bicycle frame into a piece of art!

Skye Robinson has done an absolutely stunning job! She has left us speechless with her work "Mandala Dreaming".

Our mechanic Stefan Fedeles did an impeccable job putting it all together, turning Sky's "Mandala Dreaming" into a beautiful single-speed bicycle.

This piece of art will be auctioned off at the silent auction at Parkerville Children and Youth Care's Charity Lunch Friday the 13th of October. I think it's safe to say that some of our staff will be putting in bids!

We've attached some photos that really show off the beautify and magnificence that has been created. Thanks to our resident photographer Stuart Montgomery who captured this beauty for us.

From all the Dismantle Team - Thanks, Skye, you're a legend and an incredible artist!

Dismantle x headspace. Promoting BikeRescue for Mental Health Week

It's Mental Health Week 2017! To celebrate and promote BikeRescue Dismantle and headspace, an awesome NGO that works with young people and their mental health, partnered together.

Alongside one of our awesome mechanics, Stefan, the guys from headspace worked together to pull apart, refurbish and completely rebuild two bikes. These bikes were finished and ready to roll out to their donation destination chosen by Tom - headspace!

Headspace will use these bicycles to increase the engagement in physical exercise for the young people within their organisations.

We would also like to thank Central Park Perth for generously providing us with the space to display BikeRescue and partner with headspace for this. 

If you are interested in how BikeRescue can engage, provide positive role modelling and guidance for your young people please don't hesitate to contact us! 

If you want to get involved with us at Dismantle by either donating your time, provide funding for our programs or help out in other ways please also get in touch to get involved!
