This funding round aims to increase disabled people's confidence when travelling, by supporting organisations to deliver and grow impactful travel support programmes.

They welcome applications that deliver immediate impact, such as expanding existing travel training or buddy schemes; as well as applications that focus on future impact, such as piloting new approaches to service delivery.

Requests can include the costs for staff, training material development, training delivery and overheads, e.g.:

• Travel training.
• Travel buddy schemes.
• Classroom-based training.
• Mentoring.
• Piloting new approaches to travel support.
• Projects that test different ways of building confidence and resilience in travel.

• Activity that supports disabled people to have better journeys through increased confidence, resilience and training.
• 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.
• Staff and volunteer training or costs.
• Full cost recovery grants which include indirect costs.
