Get Involved

The community engagement programme aimed to embed sustainable transport into the mindset of local people, by reaching out to diverse communities. Community Engagement and Champion Coordinator, Nicky Kenny, worked to promote the project and its aims to communities in MK by promoting the innovative events programme, including the MK Fringe and the International Festival and supporting commissioned partners to increase attendance at their events from key community groups across Milton Keynes.

Nicky recruited Pedalling Culture Volunteer Champions to help spread the word about the project, test out cultural walking and cycling trails and help at events.
