Greater Anglia CycleLink
Supporting local people towards employment and education
The Cyclelink programme has been running since 2018. With the generous support of Greater Anglia Trains, we are able to provide a £135 discount on any of our refurbished bikes, supplemented by a further £10-15 discount from Bicycle Links, to anyone referred to this project. A package of lock, lights and helmet, all new, are supplied along with the each bicycle to ensure that users are properly equipped.
Who is eligible?
The scheme is for anyone over the age of 16 who is trying to get into, or back into, employment, and need transport to get to a job, an interview, training or work experience, or take their first steps towards employment. We can also provide a bicycle to anyone wishing to overcome challenges, improve their well-being and physical and mental health. Just like any other customer, beneficiaries are welcome to come to our shop and choose the bike that they want. As long as a referral has been made, ID is shown and the balance is paid, we will apply the discount and provide the accessories package.
We work with a number of local referral partners and have supplied bikes as far as King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth – anywhere in the Greater Anglia Trains area. If you work with eligible service users and would like to be able to refer, please get in touch with projects@bicyclelinks.org.uk.
