Cycling champions needed – London Cycling Campaign’s Share The Joy cycling fund is open – deadline 15th April

Share The Joy is a Community Cycling Fund organised by London Cycling Campaign and Lime bikes, with support from LOUD Mobility. They are looking for Cycling champions and projects. The Cycling fund awards grants to projects that help encourage more people to cycle. This specifically wants projects that improve Health and Wellbeing, Accessibility & Inclusion or Skills & Connectivity.

Funding is awarded to cover core costs, project costs, or new equipment. The average grant awarded is £2,500 but exceptional cases and brilliant ideas will receive more. If you are a London-based community group you are eligible to apply. Round 5 closed in October 2025, and round 6 opened again on 17th March 2026. The deadline is 9pm on Wednesday 15th April 2026. A further round of funding will be open in October 2026.

You can find out more on the share the joy fund web page here.

Grants are awarded to groups or ideas that show potential in one of three categories below. Projects that support groups underrepresented in cycling, or that may have difficulty accessing cycling funding from elsewhere, are given extra priority.

1. Health & Wellbeing: For organisations or cycling projects that improve physical and mental wellbeing or tackling health inequalities.
2. Accessibility & Inclusion: For organisations or projects that provide cycling support to groups underrepresented in cycling in London.
3. Skills & Connectivity: 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.

If you are not sure what to apply for, or just need some inspiration, you can check out the details of previous participants here.
