The 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships was a major international sporting event, bringing together multiple cycling disciplines, venues and global audiences across Scotland.

Mòr Diversity was commissioned to lead the strategic vision for equality, diversity and inclusion across the event. We worked as a central partner to the organising body and delivery partners, providing a cohesive inclusion framework supported by monitoring, accountability and clear governance.

Our work included comprehensive accessibility audits across venues, ensuring inclusive design was embedded from the outset rather than treated as an add-on. The project concluded with a detailed evaluation report capturing learning, outcomes and the event’s longer-term legacy for equity and inclusion within cycling and major sporting events.

The RSPB is the UK’s largest nature conservation charity, working to protect wildlife while connecting people and communities with nature.

Working in partnership with the RSPB, Mòr Diversity developed and delivered the Nature Neighbourhoods programme to support community organisations to engage more effectively with diverse communities. Our focus was on building confidence, skills and understanding so that equality, diversity and inclusion became central to outreach practice.

The programme enabled organisations to move beyond traditional engagement approaches, developing creative, locally relevant methods that support more inclusive environmental action and community participation.

The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity that uses outdoor experiences to support learning, confidence and personal development.

This work strengthened internal capability, ensuring the organisation’s commitment to inclusion is actively led and supported by a confident and skilled internal network.

Santa Cruz Bicycles is a global mountain bike manufacturer with a strong brand identity and workforce-led culture.

We partnered with Santa Cruz Bicycles to deliver a series of values-based workshops for their 150-person workforce. The programme created space for open dialogue around inclusion, allyship and social responsibility, helping staff connect organisational values with everyday behaviour.

The work contributed to a more cohesive workplace culture where inclusion is understood as a shared responsibility rather than an abstract principle.

This project focused on the UK mountain bike sector, spanning grassroots participation, commercial organisations and national stakeholders.

Mòr Diversity was commissioned to undertake an in-depth research project exploring systemic barriers and emerging good practice within mountain bike culture. The research highlighted challenges around access, representation and informal structures, providing a clear evidence base for change.

The findings have informed sector-wide conversations and events, helping organisations and leaders take practical steps towards a more inclusive outdoor culture.

Cycling UK is a national charity and membership organisation promoting cycling for transport, leisure and wellbeing.

Cycling UK engaged Mòr Diversity to support the development of a Diversity & Inclusion Champion role across its network of over 200 affiliated cycling groups. We designed a practical toolkit to clarify the purpose, responsibilities and impact of the role, aligned with the organisation’s inclusion commitments.

The work supported grassroots clubs to embed inclusion locally, helping broaden participation and strengthen community-level engagement.

The Association of Mountaineering Instructors is a professional body representing qualified instructors working across the outdoor sector.

AMI commissioned Mòr Diversity to design and deliver a two-part CPD programme focused on inclusive leadership. The sessions responded to underrepresentation in the sector and supported members to develop confidence, inclusive practice and leadership capability.

Participants have since applied inclusive and positive action approaches in their professional contexts, supporting wider access and engagement within mountaineering and outdoor instruction.

Singletrack Magazine is a leading publication within the mountain biking and cycling industry.

Mòr Diversity was commissioned to develop an awareness-raising toolkit to support the cycling trade in understanding racism and its impact. Delivered through video-based resources, the toolkit enabled honest reflection and practical discussion around barriers to inclusion.
