A fantastic day at the Midlands Arts Centre yesterday, attending The Active Wellbeing Society’s Symposhare 2024, a symposium for collaborative learning and sharing approaches in active travel. We heard from a variety of inspiring leaders calling for a roll-out of free bikes schemes across the UK through the creation of a national network, including Lord Tom Watson, Cllr. Waseem Zaffar MBE and Lisa Dodd-Mayne from Sport England.
Volterra ran an interactive workshop on the pioneering health impact assessment tool we are developing for the National Evaluation of Free Bikes (report coming soon). This generated fantastic conversations and discussions on the importance of data when running active travel schemes, especially in building a case for further funding in line with the prevention agenda.
