We are pleased to share that Newcastle University has been awarded a Gold Cycle Friendly Employer Accreditation from Cycling UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Cycle Friendly Employer<\/a>\u00a0(CFE) accreditation\u00a0is an internationally recognised standard for promoting active travel in the workplace. Organisations are assessed and can achieve a\u00a0Bronze, Silver or Gold\u00a0accreditation \u2013 and we are proud to have achieved gold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assessment looks at everything from an organisation\u2019s cycling facilities and infrastructure to workplace culture and policies, all focused on making it easier for colleagues to cycle to and from work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
