Wheels for All, the largest provider of inclusive cycling in the country, have today unveiled our 2025 Impact Report, showcasing a year of growth, strengthened national leadership and life-changing impact through inclusive cycling.
The report highlights how we are continuing to unlock health, inclusion and independence for disabled people and people living with long-term health conditions across England, whilst also building partnerships and a national network needed to support long-term change.
In 2025, we increased our reach, delivering 27,499 rides across 1,756 cycling sessions, an increase of 37%. We welcomed more first-time participants, strengthened our volunteer family, continued to create effective partnerships and generated significant social value through inclusive cycling.
To put this into perspective, Wheels for All invested just over £1 million in delivering inclusive cycling and strengthening our national network. Based on national research into the value of disabled people participating in physical activity, this represents an estimated £22.5 million in social value generated, equivalent to £22.50 of social value for every £1 invested. This is further evidenced by 73% of our participants stating that inclusive cycling helps them to manage or improve a health condition, whilst 69% report a reduction in loneliness and social isolation.
The report also shares powerful stories from participants, volunteers and partners whose lives have been transformed through access to adapted cycles and supportive environments.
Alongside delivery on the ground, 2025 marked an important year of organisational growth - from launching the Inclusive Cycling Network in Greater Manchester to strengthening governance and welcoming Chris Boardman CBE as our Patron.
Ian Tierney, CEO of Wheels for All, said:
“This year’s Impact Report demonstrates not only the scale of what we are achieving together, but the depth of the difference inclusive cycling makes. Behind every statistic is a person whose confidence has grown, whose health has improved, or whose world has expanded because they were given the opportunity to ride. Positive impact is also clearly demonstrated by the support around every individual including the carer workforce and family members.
‘’We are incredibly proud of our volunteers, partners and supporters who make this possible, and we remain committed to ensuring every local authority area in England has access to inclusive cycling.”
As we look ahead to 2026, our focus remains on expanding our reach, strengthening the quality of our delivery and accelerating the national movement for inclusive cycling. We’re inviting more people, partners and communities to join us and be part of this growing momentum, helping to bring high-quality inclusive cycling opportunities to even more places across the country.’’
