British Cycling Volunteer Survey Feedback

Dear Bruce,

As we look forward to an exciting summer, including the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, we wanted to update you on the things you said you wanted us to improve on in the last Volunteer Survey - and the changes we have implemented.

We also wanted to gather feedback on the support you would like as a valued volunteer, in advance of us creating a new Volunteer Plan.

You said, we did

After the last Volunteer Survey we looked at your feedback and during 2023 worked on the things you felt we needed to improve. Below are two of the improvements, but there are other changes to explore; just click the button for further details.

  • You said you valued British Cycling membership most as recognition of your contribution. Our membership is about to change, and we're so pleased to be able to enhance your benefits as a committed volunteer. Further details are below, but we'll be in touch next week with more.
  • You said newer volunteers were less likely to recommend volunteering with British Cycling. We have implemented consistent onboarding processes for our volunteers, offering support, guidance, next steps and clear points of contact.

Shape the next Volunteer Plan

As we anticipate an exciting summer filled with cycling events, we're gearing up to launch our next Volunteer Plan. Please take a moment to complete a short feedback form and help us shape the plan. 

There is also the opportunity to enter a draw to win one of 10 Big Bobble Hats to say thank you for giving us your feedback. Please ensure you add your email address at the end of the form to be included.

Click below to give your feedback. The form closes on 21 April 2024.

Membership is changing

British Cycling membership has evolved in tandem with how we all ride our bikes, but you told us that the current structure needed a shake-up. That's why we're simplifying the options into three clear choices: Supporter, Member and Premium Member.

The change will come into effect on Wednesday 10 April and we will be in touch then with more information, including what it means for your individual membership.

Volunteers in Focus: 2024 so far

In 2024, we are continuing to shine a spotlight on the brilliant efforts of volunteers across all forms of cycling. Each month, we are taking nominations from across the regions and home nations. If you think someone deserves a mention, get in touch with your respective regional or national team members or via @BCLearningHub on X.

This year we have thanked Breeze Champions, Guided Ride Leaders, BMX Coaches, Cyclo-Cross and Track League volunteers, event organisers and volunteers at National Track and BMX Freestyle events.
