The grant will cover staffing, contribution to insurance, cycle maintenance, venue and a celebration event at the end of the programme. The most significant difference to participants lives, will be giving the older generations across Warrington choice and opportunity on a regular basis, when it comes to enjoying the benefits of community based cycling activities to meet the needs of all abilities.
