With the support of Zweirad Beeken, the company bike leasing provider Lease a Bike has donated a total of 16 children's, ladies' and men's bicycles, including e-bikes, to the St. Vincenzhaus Foundation. Helmut Roskam, Deputy Head of the Integration Assistance Department, Sebastian Vaske, General Manager of Residential Care, and Laurenz Schmidt, Group Manager of Mobile Care, gratefully accepted the bicycle donation on behalf of St. Vincenzhaus.
Bicycle donation boosts mobility and integration
The donated bicycles will be used as part of integration assistance and mobile care (MOB) in Cloppenburg and Garrel. "We are delighted with the generous donation of bicycles," emphasizes Helmut Roskam "This is a great support for our groups and a huge step forward in terms of mobility. For some children and young people, buying their own bike is otherwise like buying a car and is often not something they can afford themselves." The donated bikes will also be used as part of the vacation program, where bike tours are planned for those who do not have their own bike.
