Through the Share The Joy Community Fund, in partnership with the London Cycling Campaign (LCC), the LEVA-EU member is supporting the charity Green School Runs by enabling sustainable and enjoyable school journeys with cargo bikes for busy families in Haringey, a borough of London, UK.

The funding facilitates Green School Runs to offer workshops, events and community riders in demonstrating to parents how everyday transportation can be active, social and fun, making a meaningful difference in Haringey, which has some of the most congested roads in London. Many parents in the area have stated that switching to a cargo bike has been transformative.

Alice Pleasant, Lime’s senior public affairs manager said the following about its community contribution:

“We’re really thrilled to support initiatives like Green School Runs through our Share the Joy Fund with London Cycling Campaign. Haringey has such a strong and passionate cycling community, and it’s been inspiring to work alongside local groups like Green School Runs, the Risley Primary School cycling programme and Haringey Schools Cycling League. Supporting community projects is exactly what Share the Joy is about, and with our next funding round opening later this year, we’d love to hear from other Haringey community groups who have ideas they’d like to bring to life”
