The Big Bike Revival Grants Programme helps get more adults cycling, especially women, people on low incomes, and ethnic minorities. You can get up to £3,500 to run bike events that fix, teach, and encourage cycling. The money pays for bike maintenance workshops and cycle training sessions. You need to be a charity, community group, social enterprise, or similar organisation. Local councils and community-focused bike shops can also apply. The programme focuses on people who don't currently cycle or need encouragement to cycle more often.
