Avanti Cycling Trust is a community interest company whose aim is to support cycling within minorities.
We raise funds to support projects that develop cycling for fitness and personal development within deprived communities. Our main project is to train and develop community leaders who are able to gain access to deprived communities and develop cycling groups to try and maintain young people’s interest and develop their CVs.
The trust is busy developing cycling clubs – called Avanti Freewheelers Community Clubs.
A Reading club has been up and running since April 2021, with activities based at the Weller Centre in Caversham, the Southcote Community Centre, the Coley community hub and the Hexham Road community centre in Whitley.
Other projects will include working with Clinical Commissioning Groups and women’s cycling groups.
The Trust is linked to Avanti Cycling which delivers cycle training, and other cycling activities for adults and children.
