Cycling UK is offering grants of up to £3,500 for voluntary and community cycle groups across England to deliver projects and activities that:
- Encourage people who don’t cycle to cycle.
- Encourage people to cycle more often.
- Increase short cycling trips.
- Improve the perception of cycling safety.
- Improve people’s confidence to cycle.
For the Summer 2024 funding round, there is a focus on encouraging partners to inspire participants to return to subsequent events, to help sustain increases in cycling, and to help make a much bigger difference through Big Bike Revival.
The Big Bike Revival Grants Programme will support events and activities that use the ‘fix-learn-ride’ model to provide sessions for people groups that are underrepresented in cycling, such as:
- Women.
- People on low incomes.
- People who experience poor mental health.
- People who are not meeting physical activity guidelines.
- People who are lacking confidence.
- Unemployed people.
- Military veterans.
- People who are experiencing substance abuse.
- Ethnic minorities.
- Refugees and asylum seekers.
- People who are experiencing transport poverty.
Funding can be used for costs including but not limited to:
- Staff costs.
- Volunteer expenses, such as refreshments and travel.
- Equipment purchases, including tools, bikes, bike parking, locks, helmets, high-vis jackets, and pumps.
- Equipment hiring, including cones, high-vis jackets, helmets, or bikes.
- Consumables, including brake pads, inner tubes, cables, lubricant, or small parts.
- Venue hires or location fees.
- Participant refreshments such as reasonable drinks and snacks.
- Promotion costs.
- Transport, including transportation of goods to and from the event location.
- Personal Protection Equipment.
Funding is for activities delivered between 29 March 2024 and 31 October 2024.
The deadline for applications is 25 June 2024.
