This project in Aberdeen City is part of Cycling UK’s Connecting Communities programme, based at the Aberdeen Cycle Hub @ Seaton.
The Connecting Communities development officers are embedded in local communities, using their expertise and local knowledge to work closely with community organisations, local businesses, public sector agencies and individuals.
The project will include:
- A wide range of cycling and walking activities for all abilities
- Short and long-term cycle loans to help people find a cycle that works for them
- Support for local organisations to coordinate and add walking, wheeling and cycling opportunities to their existing activities
- Upskilling of volunteers to deliver activities in their communities and keep cycles working if there is no local bike shop
- Localised networks of organisations, communities and individuals supporting walking and cycling initiatives
