The Big Bike Revival is an intervention for adults aimed at encouraging an uptake in cycling. By providing solutions to perceived barriers, adults are enabled to learn to how to cycle and to increase their cycling levels for short, everyday journeys. Events focus on presenting cycling as a practical, normal and habitual way to get around locally.
The programme delivers three types of event based on the FIX-LEARN-RIDE model.
Delivery partners are typically volunteer-led groups, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises that are rooted in local communities and working to address a range of local needs. They are experienced in engaging with non-regular cyclists and people in need in terms of social, economic and health deprivation.
Grants of £100 are available for organisers of a 'Great Get Together' event, an annual celebration of everything that connects our communities.
Grants of £10,000 per year for VCSE organisations to run ‘blue and green’ nature-based activities for adults in Wakefield District.
Grants for grassroots and community groups to support communities from the Windrush generation.
