Go Cycle Glasgow Fund: Evaluation

Calendar icon Active Travel and transport

Folder icon Aug 2023 - Ongoing

Go Cycle Glasgow is a fund that was established by Glasgow City Council to support community organisations across the city during the 2023 UCI World Cycling Championships and administered by Glasgow Life. Twenty-nine organisations received up to £10,000 to deliver accessible and sustainable cycling activities with marginalised populations or under-represented groups in cycling. Each organisation was asked to demonstrate a commitment to the fund’s five priorities, which were to:

  • Encourage more local people to use cycling for recreation, sport, or active travel.  
  • Provide cycling activities for under-represented groups in the community.  
  • Be inclusive and accessible, addressing barriers to participating in cycling.  
  • Engage participants in cycling now and provide sustainable activities that will be deliverable in the future.  
  • Share the learning from the project with the cycling community. 

 GCPH is evaluating the impact of the fund on behalf of Glasgow Life.

The evaluation objectives are to: 

  • Provide a coherent narrative of how the fund was delivered and who benefited from it. 
  • Support funded organisations to collect demographic information on participants. 
  • Assess the extent to which the fund’s strategic priorities were met. 
  • Gather feedback on the organisation and delivery of the fund. 
  • Gather practical feedback on how to diversify and grow the cycling population across Glasgow. 
  • Provide learning and recommendations for the strategic management group and other groups aligned to the event.

The scope of the evaluation was agreed after meetings with Glasgow Life in 2022. Following the award of funding to twenty-nine Glasgow-based organisations, each one was contacted by email with a summary document on how the fund had been distributed and the planned approach of each organisation. Additionally, each organisation received a demographic monitoring form and further information about when GCPH would be contacting them with a request to complete an online survey. This information will be analysed and written up in the format of a report due to be published in early 2024.
