25/03/2026

Glasgow Kelvin College has secured two Cycle Access Fund grants from Cycling UK, boosting our work to support active, inclusive and affordable travel for students.

🚲 Supporting Students

Through the Individual Ownership grant, seven students will receive a fully equipped bike package, helping them travel to and from college more easily while reducing costs and improving wellbeing.

🚲 Expanding Inclusive Cycling

The expanded fleet will allow more learners to take part, including those who cannot use a standard two-wheel bike.

🌍 Community Impact

The College has also donated bikes to SPYF – On Bikes, supporting a project with HMP Barlinnie that restores bikes for community use.
