The Share The Joy Community Fund awards grants to projects that improve Health and Wellbeing, Accessibility & Inclusion or Skills & Connectivity. Projects that support people underrepresented in cycling will be given additional priority.
For organisations or cycling projects that improve physical and mental wellbeing or tackling health inequalities.
For organisations or projects that provide cycling support to groups underrepresented in cycling in London.
For organisations or projects that help people develop skills and access employment opportunities, as well as provide free or discounted access to active travel to enable connectivity.
You can see examples of organisations funded under each category from the fund launch in the Share the Joy Book here.
This grant has allowed us to offer a wraparound service to our participants. They receive a qualification and work experience, but more importantly, find community and friendship, which is especially important to those who've struggled with their mental health and social isolation.

It's great to see a fund which is dedicated to enabling under-represented groups to discover the joys of cycling. Community cycle groups play such a vital role in helping to make the benefits of cycling accessible to everyone but can often struggle to find funding and be sustainable.
Sarah Javaid MBE, Founder and Director of Cycle Sisters
Lime kick-started the fund by generously contributing £100,000. The aim is to grow it much further to fund even more community cycling projects. If you or your organisation can contribute, please get in touch.
