Applications are now open for the 2025 Cyclehoop Education Fund and this year, Team Modeshift is excited to be part of the judging panel!
The Fund, launched by Cyclehoop, a Modeshift Corporate Premium Member, is a national initiative that helps schools across the UK improve or install secure cycle parking. The aim is to make cycling to school safer, more accessible, and part of everyday life for students and staff.
We’re proud to share that Modeshift STARS Programme Officer (Education), Stephanie Lake, will represent Modeshift on the judging panel. Steph is a key member of our delivery team, supporting schools through the STARS accreditation process and previously leading work on our Active Travel Ambassador Programme in secondary schools.
‘It’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate schools that are championing active travel,’ Steph says. ‘Secure cycle parking is often the missing link in encouraging more students and staff to ride to school and this fund helps to remove that barrier.’
About the Cyclehoop Education Fund
Launched in 2024, the Cyclehoop Education Fund was created to give schools across the UK the opportunity to:
- Install new cycle parking or upgrade existing facilities
- Access expert design and installation advice
- Promote cycling and active travel within their community
The 2024 launch year received an incredible response and the 2025 Fund promises to build on that success.
Key Dates and Details
- Applications close: 17 November 2025
- Winners announced: December 2025
- Assessment and installation: Spring 2026
After applications close, the judging panel, now including Modeshift, will review submissions and select winning schools. These schools will work directly with Cyclehoop’s design and installation experts to bring their projects to life.
The Cyclehoop Education Fund is about more than just infrastructure, it’s about inspiring a generation to embrace active, sustainable travel. By supporting schools to provide safe, convenient cycle parking, the programme helps create cleaner air, healthier lifestyles, and stronger, more connected communities.
