Details

This funding round aims to improve active travel options for disabled people. There are grants available for projects that have an immediate impact, or have a longer-term impact.

They welcome applications from organisations providing services and equipment, and those testing new ideas or approaches that could deliver future change. Organisations can apply for active travel equipment including cycles and walking aids, access to services for disabled people, pilots, staff costs and overheads.

Eligible funding options include:

• Active travel equipment hire.
• Grant programmes for active travel equipment.
• Services supporting disabled people to engage in active travel.
• Training for disabled people that want to engage in active travel.
• Pilots to test new models or solutions.

Your grant can be used for:

• Active travel work which is helping disabled people get from A to B, or active travel as a recreational activity. This does not include competitive or social sport.
• Funding for schemes, programmes and initiatives that already exist, and provide best practice solutions, but need support to remain operational or scale up the service they provide to help more disabled people.
• Test new solutions or approaches to addressing barriers.
• Staff and volunteer training or costs.
• Full cost recovery grants which include indirect costs.
• Local, regional or national initiatives to increase awareness of active travel.

Grant funding must be used to support disabled people living in the UK. They are particularly interested in funding projects that deliver meaningful impact in deprived areas, or to underrepresented groups.
