CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
One of the schools I train in is a 'positive action' school.
They have school bikes which they keep in a steel (shipping) container
I would like to try and get them a grant so the container can be fitted out with bike storage racks. If anyone can offer any advice on a suitable type of rack for this AND any body which might offer grants for this kind of stuff, I'd be very grateful.
How about Cycling Scotland? I think I had an email from them a while back about grants for cycle friendly workplaces. (It got deleted, I'm afraid. I'm not interested in doing any more than counting bikes in the bike racks at my office!)
Cycling Scotland have a community grant scheme but it's closed at the moment (may reopen for applications in April). There are also Commonwealth Games related grant schemes with possibly specific ones for schools http://www.gameonscotland.org/yourgames/funding/celebrate.asp
ScotRail also do some community based grants which include sustatainable transport http://www.scotrail.co.uk/betterwaytobe/ourcommunity
For bigger projects, the climate Challenge fund may be the way to go - they have a specific 'junior' fund if any of the kids in the school are interested in getting involved http://www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/sustainability-climate-change/climate-challenge-fund/junior-ccf/
Ooh, thanks for those links salyhinch. Might try the Scotrail avenue for our primary school, given that we are right bext to the East Coast main line!
Thanks folks, appreciated.
