What we do

Bikelinks helps Community Groups get started on cycling projects to encourage young people to: learn about bikes, find local routes, fix up old donated cycles, provide workshop and job related skills,use cycles as a source of cheap and clean transport, and develop health benefits.

Get going Grants

Bikelinks can offer Community Groups a "get going" grant in the region of £200 worth of materials or tools.

We can also help with hands on training to get the project started, giving your staff vaulable help and assistance whilst the project develops.
