GO:CYCLING is offering grants of £135,000 to help voluntary and not-for-profit groups to promote, encourage and support adult cycling across West Yorkshire.

Groups taking on larger projects can bid for between £5,000 and £25,000 from a pot of £115,000, with £20,000 set aside for smaller projects, up to a maximum value of £2,000 each.

The grants are to enable people to take up cycling or cycle more, use cycling in their day-to-day lives, or promote cycling as a fun activity accessible to all.

Projects could also help to promote ‘utility cycling’, such as cycling to work, or for running errands, and to increase the use of cycle infrastructure across the county.

Successful applicants will have to demonstrate the potential of their proposal to promote and increase cycling in West Yorkshire., whether through an entirely new activity, or the enhancement of an existing project.

Funding is available as a one-off grant, so applicants will need to have considered the future sustainability of their project.
