Details

The Cycle Access Fund supports those least likely to have access to a bike and provides capital grants to organisations through four different funding strands:

• Individual Bike Ownership: funding for organisations that work with adults who are struggling financially.
• Shared Use: funding for organisations to purchase cycles and equipment that enable cycle-sharing schemes such as bike libraries, pool cycles, bike subscription schemes, loan cycles and bike share schemes.
• Recycle: funding for bike repair organisations and bike recycling centres to repair cycles for donation to people who are financially struggling.
• Repair: funding for bike repair organisations, bike recycling centres and bike shops to repair cycles belonging to people who are financially struggling.

There is no limit to the number of strands organisations can apply to.
