Applications can now be made for funding to support Big Bike Revival events in 2026.
The aim of the Big Bike Revival is to make cycling accessible for everyone. It provides funding to community and voluntary organisations to deliver free events that encourage people to start cycling, cycle more often or to take up cycling again if they have lost their confidence.
If your organisation can run sessions to encourage more people to cycle, you can apply for a grant of up to £3,500. Your activities should be for people returning to cycling, complete beginners or people cycling non-regularly and should include fixing bikes, teaching cycle and maintenance skills, and taking people on bike rides on local routes.
Funding in this round is for events delivered between 3 April 2026 and 30 October 2026.
Applications are accepted from volunteer-led groups, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises that can engage with non-regular cyclists and people in need in terms of social, economic and health deprivation.
The advice from Cycling UK is to speak to a member of their team or regional officer to discuss your grant application and plans before applying. The list of regional officers is available on the Big Bike Revival website.
