This would give you funding, but probably for an event, maybe the cycling equivalent of a fun run or 10k run or criterium race or a series of smaller activities - come up with a good idea that has ACC committee backing and I'll fill in the form - helpful if you could lever some backing from GB but doesn't need to be much.
http://www.croydon.gov.uk/content/docum ... efits1.pdfInitially think it through under the following headings - these are the sexy areas for council funding
novelty - new for Croydon not backdoor funding of existing stuff
reach across community divides, culture, gender, age etc.
impact in terms of number of people involved or spectating,
legacy and future sustainability,
Health and well being
profile, in terms of enhancing image of Croydon
No point in doing anything now except to agree it is worth doing and an idea to put to ACC committee, nor anything application until funding is known.
keep it small, manageable and realistic
If you get some funding it will need a small group to push it through to completion which I would be happy NOT to lead.
