Walking and Cycling Grants

 

 

 

 

 

Applications are now open for Walking and Cycling Grants London.

Walking and Cycling Grants London is a grants programme funded by Transport for London and administered by Groundwork London.

 

The programme is aimed at groups that are traditionally under-represented in walking and cycling (e.g through income, health, ability, isolation skills and access to information or equipment).

 

 

Walking and Cycling Grants London is a programme which supports London’s diverse communities to walk and cycle more often and more safely.

 

The programme aims to:

  • Increase walking and cycling in London (including new, lapsed or occasional cyclists)
  • Increase confidence in walking and cycling
  • Increase walking and cycling frequency
  • Make bike ownership more accessible
  • Introduce exercise to people who are particularly inactive via walking and cycling
  • Reduce social isolation and get people involved in their local community

 

 

Walking and cycling makes people healthier and happier and is an affordable, green and fun way to get around and explore the city and to get some exercise.

Just ask anyone you know who frequently walks or cycles!

London is fast becoming a cycling city and Cycling Grants London wants to make sure all Londoners benefit from the joys of cycling, regardless of their background or situation.

Often people don’t cycle because they lack the opportunity, information, skills, confidence or motivation to do so; or because they do not have access to a bicycle or the means to maintain it.

 

Cycling Grants London supports community organisations that work with those who need encouragement and support to get them cycling.

 

If you have an idea to inspire and support people in your community to cycle more often and cycle more safely, Cycling Grants London may be able to support you!
 

Type of grants available

Organisations that have not received a grant from Walking and Cycling Grants London or the Cycling Grants London before, OR that have but are looking to deliver a new project,* can apply for the following funding:

 

£10,000 for Three Year Projects

  • Year 1 – up to £5,000
  • Year 2 – up to £3,000
  • Year 3 – up to £2,000

Heart of the Community Fund!

Heart of the Community Fund!

 

Here at the Virgin Money Foundation, we’re on a mission to support community regeneration by backing people who can make big changes happen locally.

 

We love helping local communities thrive – and we’d love to see applications from community organisations working in Inner London.

 

Every three months, we’re giving three local community organisations the chance to win £2,000 – with awards of £1,000 and £500 for the runners-up.

 

There is a voting unit in the Virgin Money Lounge, Piccadilly and the awards will go to the community organisations with the most votes from Virgin Money customers and Lounge members.

 

Just our bag

We’d love to support projects:

  • Run by smaller local community organisations. That means annual running costs of less than £500,000.
  • Working in the parts of the City that need money the most.
  • With strong local roots.
  • Benefiting the wider community.

 

Funds can be used to:

– buy materials and equipment,

– make improvements to a community building or sports facility,

– clean up an area of wasteland,

– support an event.

 

The money could also pay for staff to run an activity.

 

 

Apply to the Virgin Money foundation online by visiting virginmoneyfoundation.org.uk and selecting the Heart of the Community Fund.
