Support for healthcare providers
We work with health and social care providers across Scotland, providing funding for bikes that will help staff choose a reliable, affordable way to get to work.
Employers can access funding that will support staff on short-term contracts to access and own a bike.
What? Apply for funding that will help staff who aren’t eligible for a Cycle to Work scheme to purchase and own their own bike, lock and helmet.
Why? Short-term contracts or lack of affordability can be a barrier for some people to access Cycle to Work schemes. This funding makes it easier for staff to choose an affordable, sustainable way to travel.
Who? Health or social care employers based in Scotland can apply for staff-owned bikes.
How? Prior to applying, employers should contact the Cycling Friendly team to discuss the proposal at cyclingfriendly@cycling.scot.
Our nationally recognised Cycling Friendly Employer award provides a framework, resources and one-to-one support to increase staff cycle rates, and rewards those organisations working hard to encourage workplace cycling. Assessors from accredited Cycling Friendly centres across Scotland will support you through the process.
Prior to applying, employers should contact the Cycling Friendly team to discuss the proposal at cyclingfriendly@cycling.scot.
