Trustees
Bikeworks is a social enterprise, legally this means we are a Community Interest Company (CIC). Bikeworks has no shareholders and is governed by our Non-Executive Directors who volunteer their time and commitment as Trustees.
All profits made as a result of our income generating activities are reinvested back into achieving our mission, including the provision of free-to-access inclusive community cycling activities.
Our Trustee Group meets minimum 4-times per year, attending an Organisational Development session once-a-year to review and set the strategy for the year ahead. The Board also establishes ‘task and finish’ groups for new business products and activities throughout the year, as required.
To facilitate good governance and harness the expertise of our Non-Executive Directors, the Board delegates authority to the Chairs of the Finance and Risk Sub Group, and the People and Governance Sub Group.

Lorraine Foley
Lorraine is Chair of Bikeworks. She joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director in August 2020, initially leading its People and Governance Sub-group, and became Chair in 2026.
Lorraine is an experienced chief executive and transformation leader whose career spans corporate banking, the NHS and the wider health and care system. Her senior roles have included Director of Informatics at the Healthcare Commission, Director of National Support at the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, Director of Commissioning and Partnerships at Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, and Head of Strategy at NHS England South.
From 2015 to 2025, Lorraine was Chief Executive of the Professional Record Standards Body. Over ten years, she led its development from a start-up into an established national organisation, working across health and social care, the NHS, professional bodies, patient advocacy groups and industry to improve how information is recorded, shared and used.
Lorraine’s combination of health-system experience, commercial understanding and organisational leadership is particularly relevant as Bikeworks strengthens its health and wellbeing work, builds its evidence base and commissioning partnerships, and balances growth with long-term financial sustainability.
As Chair, she supports the Board and leadership team to maintain strategic focus as Bikeworks continues widening access to physical activity, wellbeing and connectivity through cycling.
