Cycling UK
Cycling UK - Let's make a better world by bike
Helping more people to cycle, more
often and to try cycling in mutually supportive and social groups.
Cycling UK is working closely with
local partners to understand and build positive relationships with groups and communities
in Suffolk to deliver cycling opportunities which are inclusive, sociable and
sustainable.
Community Cycle Clubs are at the heart of our programme
A Community Cycle Clubs is a group of people who come together to do cycling for whatever purpose they
choose. Clubs are run in all sorts of places including with older people’s
groups, women’s groups, workplaces, refugee charities, mosques and
veterans’ groups. The programme connects individuals
to their community to build social networks, feel well and enjoy being active
by cycling. The aim could be to reduce isolation, improve health and
wellbeing, develop skills and education, or just have fun. We have more than 200 diverse clubs
across England and Scotland, which have engaged with more than 50,000
people.
Funding is available for equipment and volunteer training for new Community Cycle Clubs
If you’re a community group or organisation in Suffolk who would like to develop
your own cycle club and benefit from the support and funding available for
equipment and training, join us and apply to become an affiliated community cycle
club.
