Are you a community group or individual who would like to walk or cycle more? Our Community Active Travel Programme is about encouraging people in communities across Belfast to walk and cycle more as part of everyday life.
Belfast Community Groups
We work with people and groups from communities across Belfast, partnering with community leaders to create programmes and run activities local people want.
The Communities team have worked with a range of groups from youth groups to women’s and men’s groups, parents and toddlers, voluntary sector workers and the migrant community.
We are always looking new and different groups so if you are in the Belfast council area, get in touch.
We can work with your group to design, plan and deliver a programme that will suit the individuals in your community or group.
Working from a list of activities and your ideas we can create the programmes you want.
What we offer
We can develop and deliver free activities or a programme that will suit your group's needs best. Here is a little taster of the type of activities we offer:
- Group walks and cycles
- Bicycle maintenance sessions
- Cycle training for children and adults
- Training people in your group to be walk or ride leaders.
