If you are interested in making a difference to future generations, help us teach pupils about riding bikes on today’s roads! Bikeability is a training program that teaches children to cycle safely, to learn how to deal with traffic and that, above all gets children excited about cycling. The program is supported by a network of volunteer instructors across Scotland.
You will work alongside John to deliver Bikeability sessions that not only allow participants to gain confidence on a bike, but also increase social skills and a sense of wellbeing.
And if you feel like stepping it up, then we can put you through SCQF-accredited Bikeability Training (1 day course) so you can become an instructor and deliver Bikeability as a trained volunteer alongside the Angus Cycle Hub. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be an expert to become an instructor!

Litter isn’t nice. It spoils the places we live, work and visit. It devalues our beautiful country.
Clean Up Scotland is our campaign to tackle litter. Whether you are an individual, member of a community, school or a business, we can all work together to improve our environment.
Through Clean Up Scotland, we raise awareness of our litter problem, take action and inspire others to do the same.
We can help you to organise a litter pick, find a litter pick happening near you or nominate someone for our Clean Up Scotland Hero award.

Together we can make a difference.
