Cyclehoop education fund launched

Cyclehoop  has launched the Cyclehoop Education Fund, a new initiative aimed at providing cycle parking solutions for schools in need. The project aims to make cycling to school more accessible and convenient for students of all ages, reducing traffic congestion in the local neighbourhood and encouraging physical activity.

Cyclehoop can provides grants and industry knowledge to help schools install safe and secure cycle parking facilities, ensuring that students have a place to safely store their bikes during the school day.

Why the Cyclehoop Education Fund matters:

1. Health and wellbeing: Cycling is a great way for children to get regular exercise and arrive at school focused and ready to learn.
2. Sustainability: By encouraging more students to cycle to school, it reduces emissions and contributes to cleaner, safer air around schools.
3. Accessibility: The fund is open to all schools across the UK, with priority given to those able to illustrate a clear need for improved cycle parking.
 

How it works:

Schools apply through the Cyclehoop website up until the 15 November 2024. Selected schools will then participate in a workshop with Cyclehoop’s team of experts to establish the best solution for their site. Then, dependent on the scale of the project, they will receive full or partial funding to install their state-of-the-art cycle parking solution. The Cyclehoop Education Fund is designed to be simple and accessible, so schools of all sizes can benefit from the initiative.

How to apply 

Schools interested in applying for the fund can visit our Cyclehoop Education Fund: Application Form (office.com). Applications are open until the 15 November 2024. Cyclehoop encourages all schools to apply and be part of the movement towards healthier, more sustainable school commutes.
