Clubs, community groups, schools and other organisations are invited to apply for funding to organise their own small scale Bike Week event. The fund is available for a wide variety of fun or educational community cycling related events. Road races or Sportives will not be eligible for funding.

The maximum amount of funding available is €400. This funding has been secured by Wexford County Council from the National Transport Authority. All events must take place during Bike Week 2024 and must be free for participants. Where possible events should be non-competitive and have a focus on inclusion and beginners or on cyclists returning to cycling after some time.
The Bike Week logo must be used on all promotional material
The closing date for receipt of applications is 5th of April, 2024. If the amount of applications exceeds the availability of funding those with a strong social inclusion and community ethos will be prioritised.
