SWestrans - People and Place Grant Fund
Details
The People and Place Grant Fund programme in Dumfries and Galloway supports behaviour change interventions which encourage people to choose active or sustainable ways to travel instead of using private vehicles.
The objectives of the People and Place programme are to:
- increase the proportion of active and sustainable journeys in Dumfries and Galloway
- increase awareness of the benefits of active and sustainable travel to encourage future behaviour change
- increase the use of active and sustainable travel modes among underrepresented groups in the region, by helping to address the additional barriers they face
- collaborate with local authority and third-sector partners to strengthen capacity and capability in active and sustainable travel
The focus areas for the grant funding are:
- schools and young people
- workplaces
- accessibility and inclusion
- capacity and capability
- sustainable travel
They are keen to support collaborative working and would encourage multiple organisations to submit joint or collaborative bids. They may also suggest that you work with other organisations to strengthen your bid.
Projects should be completed by 31 March 2026.
