Welsh Cycling & Equality

Equality Statement

Welsh Cycling is committed to making cycling in Wales more equitable and available to everyone. Cycling in Wales is historically a white, male dominated sport. We are committed change. Everyone should be free to participate in cycling regardless of gender, race, ability, religion, sexuality or age.

Wales has an increasingly diverse population - not all have an equitable representation in cycling. It is only fair and just that Welsh Cycling represents all sections of the wider community. Everyone should have the opportunity to participate at recreational and competitive levels and to progress to an elite level in cycling. Participating in sport improves community relationships and the general health of the population. Sport Wales and UK Sport have provided all National Governing Bodies with Equality Standards that must be met.

Welsh Cycling will work to ensure Welsh Cycling will become more Equitable; both in terms of the organisation and the wider sport.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, you would like to make on how we can make Welsh Cycling more equitable then please contact: keri.jenkins@welshcycling.co.uk
