Fix your Bike Voucher Scheme - Portsmouth & Southsea

All current vouchers have been released.

If you have an old bike gathering dust at home, you can apply for a £50 voucher to get it repaired and GC Bike Repairs are one of the accredited providers of the scheme.

The Fix your Bike Voucher Scheme allows members of the public to receive a voucher worth up to £50 towards the cost of repairing a bicycle.

Registrations for members of the public who want to apply for a voucher are now open on the Energy Saving Trust website.

Eligibility

The scheme is open to anyone in England who has an unused cycle in need of a repair.

However, as there are a limited number of vouchers available, please consider the needs of others before applying for a voucher and do not delay making planned repairs outside of the scheme should your circumstances allow it.

Vouchers can only be used with bike repairers or mechanics that are registered for the scheme in England, and up to two vouchers can be claimed per household.

A full list of terms and conditions and eligibility criteria is provided when you register.

Background

It also aims to help reduce the number of short journeys made by private cars.
