Help us keep the wheels turning!
Donate to grow a nation of confident cyclists.
Bikeability is the UK’s largest road safety education programme, with over 5.8 million people trained since 2007. Last year alone, over 500,000 children across England discovered the joy, freedom and independence of cycling through Bikeabilility training.
But this life-changing work doesn’t happen by itself. It’s all thanks to dedicated staff, resources and the behind-the-scenes operations that make it all possible!
Your donations will help us build a future where cycling is the norm for short journeys and everyone has the confidence to ride.
Our mission
The Bikeability Trust aims to activate a nation of cyclists by ensuring everyone has the confidence to enjoy the life skill, independence and fun of cycling. Giving everyone the competence and confidence to cycle is our core mission, making cycling the norm for short journeys.
Our mission goes beyond delivering exceptional training. Our work is focused on promoting safer roads, inclusive cycling and advocate for making cycling accessible to all on a national level. Your support will help to make this all possible.
Every donation, whether one-off or regular, helps us build a stronger future for cycling.
Why your support is so vital
Government funding helps deliver our training, but it doesn’t cover everything that keeps Bikeability moving forward. Your donation will support the essential running costs that keep our work, impactful, inclusive, and sustainable.
Whether it’s research and campaigning to support safer roads or working with the government to prioritise the importance of cycling as a public health initiative, we need your support to deliver our mission.
Join us in helping to activate a nation of cyclists.

Your donation will go towards our essential running costs and funding projects like our Safety for All report in collaboration with Living Streets to make walking and cycling more accessible. These are the essential resources that allow us to continue the impactful work we do outside of delivering high quality training. This includes new programmes, supporting inclusive training initiatives and maintaining operations that keep our work running smoothly.
Essential running costs are the unrestricted funds that support the Trust’s ability to continue delivering on our mission and to keep operations running smoothly. These costs can include funding for projects such as our work with the government to include cycling in the curriculum and projects around inclusivity with cycle training. They ensure we can plan ahead, deliver effectively, and continue to improve the quality of our programmes.
