The founder of a project that provides refugees with bicycles has been shortlisted for a prominent award.

Jem Stein was inspired to create The Bike Project after he mentored a refugee while at university.

The 27-year-old's initiative provides second-hand bikes to refugees in London and across the country.

The former Habonim social action worker is now one of five finalists with a chance of winning the £10,000 prize in the Lloyds Bank Social Entrepreneur of the Year competition.
