TAKA Trust + RIDE Holidays: Bikes for Kids

TAKA Trust, chaired by Matt Reid, and Karl Woolcott from RIDE Holidays give tamariki opportunities to grow their talents through biking.

So far, 59 schools have received brand new bikes. The 60th is Upper Hutt Primary School — where it all began.

How it works:

Each bike costs $300, including a helmet

We give 30 bikes to each school

How you can help:

Donate $50, $100, or sponsor a full bike. Let’s get these Upper Hutt kids riding.

Our bikes are loved by heaps of tamariki, and with your support, even more will get to experience riding.

Keeping bikes safe:

We also have a volunteer team that visits up to 10 schools a year for bike maintenance. We help any school that needs it, not just the ones we’ve given bikes to.

More about us

TAKA Trust seeks to provide tamariki with more experiences and opportunities giving them access to sports, technology, cultural events, modern learning and the arts - things which should be accessible to all New Zealand tamariki. We aim to make this a reality.

We are very proud of our Tamariki with their skills and capabilities and we want to be able to provide opportunities that will enhance and help grow their talents.
