Recipient Org: Description Life Cycle UK is a Bristol-based charity that has been transforming lives through cycling since 1999. Cycling can be a fantastic agent for change: it improves physical and mental health, enables those on low-incomes to access jobs, the lonely to better engage with community life and young people on their journey to independence. Our award winning “Inclusive Cycling Projects” support people with disabilities, mental health illness, offenders, isolated older people and disadvantaged youngsters to improve their lives. We do this by providing affordable refurbished bikes, cycle skills training, community-led cycle rides – and training socially excluded people as qualified bike mechanics. We helped 4,169 people last year. Two of our projects feature in academic research as examples of cycling projects delivering wider social benefits and a ‘Social Return on Investment’ study by the University of Bristol found every £1 spent by Life Cycle results in £8.05 of social and health benefits.
