High Life Highland chief executive Steve Walsh is pleased cycling facilities will be boosted for staff.

A Highland charity will be able to provide facilities for staff who want to cycle to work following a funding boost.

A grant from Cycling Scotland has enabled High Life Highland (HLH) to install new racks for bike parking at both its Inverness and Dingwall offices.

Nathalie Libera, development officer at Cycling Scotland, said: "High Life Highland has been working hard to support more people to cycle, and these new cycle racks at the Inverness and Dingwall offices are just part of their journey to become a Cycling Friendly organisation."

Cycling Scotland’s employer fund offers up to £25,000 for organisations to install facilities such as showering areas and bike shelters at their workplaces to encourage more active travel.

Steve Walsh, chief executive of High Life Highland, said: "With our organisation’s focus on promoting and encouraging health and wellbeing throughout the whole of the Highlands, it is great that we are now able to support our own staff and visitors to travel by bicycle to our offices.

"We are pleased that this has been recognised by Cycling Scotland with a Cycling Friendly Employer Award for both the Inverness and Dingwall offices."

The Cycling Scotland employer fund aims to support workplaces to take a leading role in increasing the number of journeys by bike to, from and for work.
