Challenges We’re Facing

Due to these funding cuts, we’ve had to scale back several critical programs:

• Program Cancellations: Our leadership training and educational workshops, which offered support for mental, physical, and emotional well-being, have been postponed or canceled. These programs were about more than just cycling—they were essential in bringing people together, building trust, and fostering leadership within our community.
  Staff Layoffs: Budget cuts have led to a reduction in our operational team, placing an increased workload on our remaining staff and volunteers, making it more difficult to continue our mission.
  Reduced Equipment Access: Due to financial constraints, we are unable to fund the necessary bike maintenance and repairs, limiting opportunities for new riders to get involved.
  
  

Impact on Our Community

The women we serve are also feeling the effects of these funding challenges:

• Fewer Opportunities: With fewer resources, there are less opportunities for participation, which affects the health, mobility, and confidence of women in our community.
  Increased Barriers: Many participants, especially those who rely on free bikes and training, can no longer access these crucial resources due to financial limitations.
  Lost Connections: With fewer events and activities, the vital sense of community and support that LEB provides is diminished.
