With the support of Zweirad Beeken, the company bike leasing provider Lease a Bike has donated a total of 16 children's, ladies' and men's bicycles, including e-bikes, to the St. Vincenzhaus Foundation. Helmut Roskam, Deputy Head of the Integration Assistance Department, Sebastian Vaske, General Manager of Residential Care, and Laurenz Schmidt, Group Manager of Mobile Care, gratefully accepted the bicycle donation on behalf of St. Vincenzhaus.
Bicycle donation boosts mobility and integration
The donated bicycles will be used as part of integration assistance and mobile care (MOB) in Cloppenburg and Garrel. "We are delighted with the generous donation of bicycles," emphasizes Helmut Roskam "This is a great support for our groups and a huge step forward in terms of mobility. For some children and young people, buying their own bike is otherwise like buying a car and is often not something they can afford themselves." The donated bikes will also be used as part of the vacation program, where bike tours are planned for those who do not have their own bike.
The St. Vincenzhaus Foundation in Cloppenburg defines itself as a supporter of children, young people, parents and families who shape educational and life paths together. With over 300 employees in six different facilities, including a special school, residential groups, a youth welfare facility, an addiction and educational counseling center and a youth workshop, they are there for their target groups around the clock, 365 days a year.
Lease a Bike and its CSR efforts
Lease a Bike takes its social responsibility seriously and is not only committed to green mobility concepts, but also to fair cooperation. Every year, the company supports international organizations that make a positive contribution to the common good with a total of 100 bicycles. The company bike leasing provider strives to make emission-free mobility solutions accessible to a growing number of people. In addition to reducing the carbon footprint of its employees and transparently publishing its sustainability efforts, the company is also actively involved in reforestation by planting trees and supporting international climate projects.

At a time when work models and mobility concepts are changing rapidly, bike leasing opens up new opportunities for employees and employers alike. The traditional notion of workplace and commute has fundamentally changed in recent years. Flexibility, sustainability and well-being are gaining importance, and bike leasing is at the heart of these changes.
In times when the threats posed by climate change are becoming ever more tangible, it is essential for companies to take responsibility and implement sustainable measures. As part of our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), we are realizing milestones in our CSR efforts with our partner Planted. This partnership marks another step on our journey to becoming a more sustainable and environmentally conscious company.
To coincide with World Bicycle Day on June 3, 2024, the company bike leasing provider Lease a Bike organized the "Bike to Work Days" for the first time. In this fundraising campaign, participants collected kilometers on their way to work by bike for a good cause. Lease a Bike then donated 1 euro to the SOS Children's Village Düsseldorf for every kilometer cycled.
