On Friday 23rd May 2025, as part of our Women’s Offroad Cycling Community of Practice in Wales series, in partnership with Beicio Cymru and MB Wales, Project FIAS will hold a FREE workshop to support women+ across Wales wanting to set up or grow a mountain biking community. The workshop will include structured discussion, guest speakers, and plenty of opportunity for shared learning, and building connections.
Women+’s only communities are hugely valuable for building confidence, progressing in MTB and building lasting connection. Project FIAS have co-created a Women+’s Community Building Toolkit, which sets out best practice, resources and guidance for how women+’s MTB communities can get set up, grow and thrive. The Toolkit was developed in consultation with a range of experts; women+ cycling group leaders, who have generously shared their learnings, challenges and experiences forming, running and organising their communities.
The 4 parts of the Toolkit are:
- Planning and initiating: how to get things off the ground.
- Recruiting and diversifying: how to reach the women+ you’d like to reach.
- Ensuring a positive experience: how to get the vibe right on every ride.
- Retaining and sustaining: how to make sure your community thrives and grows.
