Cycling UK - Cycle Access Fund
Created: 29/09/2026News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Health and Social Care
The Cycle Access Fund supports those least likely to have access to a bike by providing capital grants to organisations through five different funding strands.
It makes our communities safer and more pleasant by reducing short car journeys. Cycling UK knows that many people in Scotland experience barriers to accessing a cycle and, by offering funding across different strands, they aim to tackle different barriers and help more people cycle.
The five funding strands are:
- Individual Bike Ownership: Funding for organisations that work with people who are struggling financially. This funding is designed to support individuals who would not be able to afford to buy a bike themselves.
- Shared Use: Funding for organisations to purchase cycles and equipment that enable cycle sharing schemes such as bike libraries, pool cycles, bike subscription schemes, loan cycles and bike share schemes. Successful applications should demonstrate how you will meet a particular need in your community, promoting inclusivity and supporting those who are least likely to have access to a cycle of their own.
- Recycle: Funding for bike repair organisations, and bike recycling centres, to repair cycles for donation to people that are financially struggling.
- Repair: Funding for bike repair organisations, bike recycling centres, and bike shops to repair cycles belonging to people that are financially struggling.
- Cycle parking and storage: Funding to purchase facilities for storing or parking cycles, or improvements to existing facilities, such as shelves, hooks or racks.
Who can apply?
Organisations that's work takes place in SPT, Sestran and ZetTrans.
