The Archway Project is a registered charity based in South London which works with young people who are in care, who suffer abuse or neglect at home or who are in danger of social exclusion. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Archway provides support and guidance to steer young people away from crime, and to provide them with qualifications and skills necessary to help them secure work. <o:p></o:p> The project has found that getting teenagers interested in motorcycling has proved a hit, and now most of its work is based around repairing, recycling and maintaining motorbikes, which members then go on to ride on legal off-road tracks around the country.<o:p></o:p> Nick Gale Customs has been discussing the possibility of starting a local youth workshop for underprivileged kids to collaborate in the building of a project custom bike. When the company was contacted by the Archway Project, their plans proved to be exactly what NGCC had in mind. <o:p></o:p> The Variety Club’s children’s charity have agreed to back the project and to auction the finished bike at one of its high-profile dinners. <o:p></o:p> A group of lads aged 14-15 years attended the first workshop at Nick Gale Customs at the end of September, where it was decided that their first custom build would be a chopper called ‘Purple Haze’.<o:p></o:p> The lads will be instructed step-by-step on the construction of their chop; then, at the end of February, they will build the bike on stage, in front of an audience, at the London International Custom Show.<o:p></o:p> Good Luck lads! <o:p></o:p>

Hi

Catch22, who I'm organising a charity golf day for in March run a similar scheme in Gravesend, it differs as it is cars and bikes and a fully working garage, they train the youngesters up and help them build their own cars and bikes.
