Born and raised in Lerwick, Caroline Adamson had a variety of jobs before she discovered the role that would become her passion.
Twenty-five years ago, she founded the award winning, non-profit Shetland Community Bike Project which is based at Lerwick’s Commercial Road.
The initiative provides opportunities for people with barriers to employment reach their full potential, and is hugely successful in what it does.
In this latest edition of Shetland Voices, Jane Moncrieff hears about Caroline’s early life and how her previous experience led her to the project and how it has flourished since its inception in 1999.
