The City of London Corporation’s The City Bridge Trust has made a grant of £45,000
to [Wheels for Wellbeing](http://www.wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk) to provide a range
of cycling services to increase social inclusion and participation for the disabled
community in and around Lambeth.

Registered as a charity in September 2007, Wheels for Wellbeing is an active member
of the national ‘Wheels for All’ network and the London Disability Cycling Forum.
It aims to encourage disabled people, and people with mental health problems to 
adopt independent living and healthier lifestyles, through the medium of cycling.

The City Bridge Trust has awarded over £200 million to London’s charities and community
groups in the last 12 years to help the lives of disabled people, children, young
people and older people in London communities, as well as supporting environmental
projects and the voluntary and community sector.

It is the largest, independent grantmaking trust in London following an Act of Parliament
in 1995 which allowed surplus monies from the ancient trust (originally set up to
maintain the five London bridges crossing the Thames into the City) to be spent 
for the benefit of Londoners, through charitable grant making. The Trust’s £620 
million fund was built up over 900 years, originating from ancient taxes imposed
on London Bridge.
