About
Step Ride Thrive CIC delivers projects and services focused on active travel, nature engagement and community health and wellbeing. It aims to break down barriers to accessing the internationally important Avalon Marshes reserves, and to support people in local communities to participate in walking, cycling and wheeling, thereby enhancing their connection to the natural world and improving wellbeing. The CIC works with communities and partner organisations across Avalon, the Polden Hills and surrounding areas. Step Ride Thrive started as a pilot project, backed by local parish councils, the Avalon Marshes reserve partner organisations and with a £35,000 grant from Somerset Council and the Somerset Association of Local Councils (SALC).
