Whether you ride a Harley, a café racer, or a scooter - if you believe in kindness, you’re welcome here. Join us as we ride for change, ride for community, and ride for those who need it most.
WHO WE ARE
A diverse community of riders & supporters, committed to acts of kindness that make a difference.
Founded by a group of passionate riders who believed in doing good on two wheels, M.A.R.K was born out of a simple idea: bikers have big hearts and bold energy, and when they act with kindness, they themselves thrive and so their wider communities. At M.A.R.K, our mission comes to life through clear priorities - focusing our energy on the areas where bikers can make the biggest impact on themselves and others.
Community First
Every pound raised goes back into the places bikers call home — funding projects that make a real difference locally.
Mental Health Matters
From first aid training to supporting wellbeing initiatives, we’re committed to breaking stigma and supporting healthier lives.
Action on the Road
We turn passion into progress - from national biker café schemes to grassroots acts of kindness, we get things done.
Our Story
Every movement starts with a spark – for M.A.R.K, it was the belief that bikers could channel their passion for riding into a force for good, creating positive change wherever the road takes them.
What started as a small grassroots movement quickly evolved into a nationwide initiative. Riders across the UK were already stepping up for their communities – supporting mental health campaigns, raising funds for local causes, and turning up when it mattered most. We wanted to celebrate and organise that kindness, to bring bikers together and show what was possible when we work as one.
In 2025, M.A.R.K achieved full charity status. At the same time, we proudly collaborated with one of the country’s largest defibrillator charities – giving us the infrastructure and expertise to deliver life-saving equipment and training in communities that need it most.
We’ve also partnered with creative agency CREO to launch a brand, website, and a national biker passport scheme, allowing riders to visit over 100 biker cafés across the UK and earn rewards along the way – all while raising awareness and funds for local causes. A dedicated line of merchandise has been created to fund Mental Health First Aid training for members, ensuring that bikers can support not only themselves, but those around them.
We Ride United and Heal United
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.
Small Acts of Kindness that make a big difference
Through acts of compassion, support, conversation and community, the charity has been shaped around one simple but powerful idea: Motorbiker Acts of Random Kindness – or
MARKs.
Whether it’s checking in on a fellow biker, offering a safe confidential space at a café, taking the time to talk to someone struggling on their journey, or supporting a local charity a MARK is a gesture that says: We hear You. You matter. You are not alone.
This philosophy has become the core of everything we do – from free mental health first aid and safeguarding training, installing defibrillators in biker-friendly cafes, to our fast-growing network of biker wellbeing hubs. And, of course, the legendary Bike and Brew Passport event which is really helping to connect our community.
Provide a network of support for bikers, by bikers
Make Your Mark was created to champion mental wellbeing in a space often overlooked. Beneath the helmets, and the leather jackets there are often riders quietly carrying trauma, grief, anxiety and depression. Good people who are often negatively stereotyped as just noisy anti- social bikers and therefore left to fend for themselves.
That’s why Make Your Mark exists – to break the silence, reduce the stigma and create connections and spaces where every rider feels supported and safe to be seen and heard. Where they feel valued and appreciated.
Improve the Wellbeing within the motorcycling community
The biking community is full of Thunderous Hearts and Generous Souls – but even the strongest and most generous often need support. Poor mental health doesn’t always look the way you think it should. It can hide beneath a visor. It can ride pillion in silence. We want to harness the mental health benefits of riding and our supportive community by spreading acts of random kindness, fostering emotional and physical wellbeing for ourselves and others.
We want to show the world the true power of biker kindness – because it really does exist.
Together we can make a real positive difference.
Our Trustees
From business and banking to hospitality, aviation, and creative industries, our board reflects the broad and inclusive spirit of the biking community itself.
Our team includes an Armed Forces veteran, previously a Managing Director of an international bank, a senior associate at Barclays Bank, who provides deep expertise in financial governance, compliance, and operational strategy. From the world of branding and communications, our board is strengthened by the director and owner of the UK’s most established creative agencies – bringing insight into storytelling, national campaigns, and building movements that make a difference. We’re incredibly proud to be supported by some of the UK’s most respected business leaders, each rooted in their local communities and committed to giving back through innovation, investment, and hands-on support.
Crucially, the board also features an owner of one of the UK’s most popular biker cafés – real connectors within the biking community, and champions of grassroots engagement and rider wellbeing.
Together, this unique mix of skills and backgrounds ensures that M.A.R.K is both professionally guided and community-driven, with every decision grounded in the values of kindness, action, and inclusion.
