| It’s halfway through the Active Travel Challenge and we’re going strong.Folks taking part in the challenge have logged 6,500 journeys, saving over 6,000kg of CO2, and £9k in transport expenses – what a fantastic effort. This week might be a good time to check up on Belfast Trust workplace profile to see how we are faring against the competition.
If you are thinking of getting back into the saddle again for a cheaper and more reliable way to get to work, fitness or leisure then Sustrans Borrow a Bike loan scheme can help.
