Making Change Happen
Simple, accessible support for causes that make a real difference.
At M.A.R.K, we believe in putting funds raised by the biking community straight back into the communities that need it most. Through our grants programme, we offer direct financial support to charities, local groups, and individuals who are making a difference in areas close to our heart – including mental health, community wellbeing, first aid training, defibrillator access, and support for vulnerable groups.
The Social Bikers Group
Our mission is to help you Make your Mark through encouraging and promoting Motorbiker Acts of Random Kindness (MARKs) to strengthen the communities we live in. The Social Bikers Group was born from a single truth that every motorbiker knows: riding is great for your mental wellbeing. It can help to save your life. And sometimes, it already has. We want to shine a light on the positive mental health benefits of riding. That’s exactly why our mantra – Release the Clutch Quiet the Noise – resonates with so many bikers.
What We Fund
Fuel for Good
We believe a motorcycle is more than just a machine or a mode of transport – it’s a lifeline. It’s a path to wellbeing, healing connection and community. For so many riders across the UK, especially those navigating the struggles of mental health, the open road on two wheels offers something extraordinary: mindfulness, clarity, purpose and peace.
Grants Already Delivered

Since gaining charity status, we’ve already awarded a number of grants to impactful organisations and initiatives across the country – from grassroots charities and wellbeing programmes, to vital community defib schemes. We’re proud to be making a real difference, fast – and we’re just getting started.
