"Sport changed my life, and being in a position to help children who struggle like I struggled, is really rewarding" - Connor, Young Leader
This is a significant uplift on the previous year’s figure of 5284 and is in line with our ambition to scale-up our delivery and expand our reach as outlined in Stand For Inclusion – our 2022-2027 Growth Strategy.

In addition to this direct reach, we have also benefitted entire communities through the three new, all-ability community cycling facilities that we delivered in 2021/22 in Hartcliffe (Bristol), Bexley (London) and Salford (Greater Manchester). According to the traffic counters installed at these sites they have been used a total of 26,683 times from December 2021 to March 2022. This equates to over 7000 visits per month.
A survey of users suggested that there have been approximately 3435 unique users during the winter 2021/22, and at least 45% of riders surveyed have used the tracks more than nine times in total.
