Volunteering
Volunteering with Frome Community Bike Project
If you’re interested in volunteering with us we have a range of roles and opportunities. There’s a lot of interest from the community which is brilliant, but it does mean we can’t always accept everyone to become a volunteer, however we do try to ensure that people get the opportunity.
We use an app called Spond to communicate with volunteers since we have a vast range of roles and interests within our volunteer team. Spond allows you to join the sub-groups that interest you and within those groups you’ll be invited to join relevant sessions and events. You can then accept or decline the invitation in the Spond mobile app or on the Spond website.
Below is an outline of our current volunteer roles and if you have an idea that isn’t there please do let us know!
- Volunteer Mechanics
- Retail assistants
- Cycle instructor assistants
- Ride leaders and assistants
- Events team
- Communications and marketing volunteers
- Fundraising support
- Accounts support
If you want to get involved then head over to the volunteer sign up page and fill in your details. Please be sure to read the information on the page carefully and look at our volunteer handbook too.

Please just get in touch with us! While we only guarantee we’re open during our core hours, we’re very often around at other times and if there are people able to help out with opening the workshop then we can be open more – which is a good thing all round!
We’ve a range of roles that don’t involve lifting a spanner so if you’d like to help then please get in touch. If you’d like to know more about how to repair bikes then you can sign up for a free cycle maintenance class too.
