Local organisations are being encouraged to bid for funding for projects to get more people cycling

 Local organisations are being encouraged to bid for funding for projects to get more people cycling - Banner

Community groups in H&F are being encouraged to apply for grants for schemes to help get more people cycling.

Transport for London’s Cycling Grants programme, now in its fourth year, helps groups who are traditionally under-represented in cycling, to get pedalling.

The scheme is managed by Groundwork London and this year has £240,000 available to help up to 30 groups deliver new cycling initiatives.

These can be anything from courses teaching basic cycle maintenance, to guided rides and more. Projects will receive up to £10,000 over three years.

Applications now open at www.cyclinggrants.london  and close on 17 September.

You can read H&F Council’s cycling strategy here, which outlines our plans to make it easier and safer for more people to riding.

For more information about TfL’s cycling initiatives visit tfl.gov.uk/cycling.

2027 Community Power in Grant-making Programme: Applications have re-opened

Our programme 2027, aims to bring community power into grantmaking through placing talented people from working-class backgrounds into decision-making roles at trusts and foundations.

We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response to the programme from the grant-giving sector, and as a result we want to re-open our applications to ensure that as many people as possible can access this opportunity to diversify the voices in these organisations and to accelerate their own professional development.

The deadline for applications is 5th August. If you would like to enquire please email: craig@charity-works.co.uk

Volunteer with Doorstep Library

Visiting the same 5 families every week, Doorstep Library volunteers turn up on the doorstep with rucksacks full of stories. They started in H&F in 2010 and now run 6 projects and visit over 300 children weekly.

By making reading fun first, they inspire children to experience the joy of stories and books. They empower parents to get involved in their children’s education and, sometimes, we’re there as extra support, whether we’re signposting a local family service, lending an ear, or just being a friendly face.
