Upcycle believe everyone deserves a chance at a better future. We work to prevent people from being pulled into crime and help those already in the system find paths out. We run bike maintenance programmes for at-risk and marginalised youth in Bradford and in prisons and young offender institutions across the UK. Our trainees learn skills, gain valuable experience, and build the resilience and self-belief needed to succeed. Most refurbished bikes, often saved from landfills, are donated to those in need, both locally and globally. The remainder are sold in our Community Bike Shop in Shipley, providing affordable and good quality bikes to the local community and funding our work.

Wizer CIC was founded by an individual with significant amounts of lived experience of the criminal justice system. It seeks to break the cycle of offending by addressing the rehabilitative needs with the support of employees, volunteers and peer advisors, all of whom have lived experience themselves.
Wizer CIC are currently taking referrals for prison leavers 12 weeks prior to release and then working collaboratively with all agencies to ensure there isn't any overlap and duplication.
Specialist Navigators offer intensive support in the community to address the individuals needs and then look to transition into further ETE. Wizer has worked with an education providor for many years now offering fully funded sector based qualifications with full access to over 300 employers as part of the colleges wider network.
In addition, Wizer has working professional relationships within MoJ, HMPPS, Public Health, Humberside Police and the OPCC
