Active Together Annual Review 2022/23 Case Study - Set, Pedal - Go!

After receiving funding from the Bikeability Trust's Widening Participation
Fund, Active Together developed a learn to cycle programme branded Set,
Pedal - Go! The aim was to target children and young people in receipt of
free school meals who had not yet learnt to ride a bike due to access or
affordability. The programme delivered a mix of after-school sessions in
priority schools as well as evening and weekend community provision.

The programme was delivered by a local partner provider BBuddies, using a
branded mobile van, with bikes and helmets provided for all participants to
ensure no barriers to participation. A total of 38 sessions were delivered at 27
venues across Leicestershire, with 508 children completing the programme.

Broom Leys Primary School took part in the programme and ran community
sessions during the summer followed by in-school delivery. A total of 48 pupils
took part in the programme and to enable sustainability, the school has been
offered a pool of bikes which will allow pupils who do not own their own bike
the opportunity to continue developing their cycling skills and encourage more
active travel.
