Cycling UK Big Bike Revival Programme (England)
Deadline: 14th July 2025 Local volunteer-led groups, social enterprises, and other not-for-profit organisations can apply for
grants of up to £3,500 to deliver cycling events to get people back on their bikes this summer.
The Big Bike Revival Programme will support organisations across England to deliver a summer programme of activity that will encourage people who do not cycle regularly (one every two weeks or less) to consider either starting or returning to cycling. This includes people experiencing:
• Social, economic, and health deprivation,
• People from diverse backgrounds,
• Those facing complex challenges.
The programme supports three types of events:
• Learn to fix events – offers basic services to repair cycles and provides essential checks to ensure cycles are safe to ride,
• Learn to ride sessions – offers instruction, training, or skills for adults to learn to maintain or repair their cycle or learn cycle skills to help them feel safer when cycling,
• Ride events – offers led rides for adults to practice cycling locally.
The funding can be spent on anything that supports the delivery of events such as staffing, promotional costs, equipment, consumables and volunteer transport.
