The Barkly Street Store helps the local community and supports their wider work.

They run an education program that teaches basic bike repair skills to students from Footscray High School. Each year, over 300 students take part and learn practical, hands-on skills. The program also helps students stay engaged in learning and encourages cycling and sustainable choices.

They also have a volunteer program that brings people together, supports learning, and helps build community connections. This program also helps provide bikes to refugees and people seeking asylum.
