Cycling Friendly Campus

What? Funding of up to £25,000 can be used to install facilities that will make it easier for students and staff to cycle. 

Why? By improving facilities, more students will be able to stay healthy, support their wellbeing and save on transport costs. 

Who? Colleges and universities looking to promote cycling as a sustainable travel choice can apply to the fund.

How? Read the support documents, complete the application and send it over to us. The fund is currently closed.

The award recognises colleges and universities who are improving their campuses and making it easier and more accessible to cycle.
