Organisations and businesses can bid for a share of £1 million in funding to help them deliver bold and innovative initiatives that enable more people to walk, wheel or cycle, Active Travel England (ATE) has today announced.
The Active Travel Innovation Fund is inviting applications from small to medium-sized businesses and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), with grants of up to £100,000 available for each successful applicant.
The funding is designed to help develop new ideas or to expand on successful initiatives that are already making a difference. Examples could include community projects that help under-represented groups make more active travel choices, projects that work alongside local councils to enable and promote sustainable travel, or that use digital tools to improve safety and accessibility.
This funding will support the Government’s Plan for Change by backing entrepreneurs and creative and ambitious projects to improve the nation’s health and kickstart economic growth.
An information webinar will take place in mid-October providing advice and an opportunity to ask questions about the fund. The webinar sign-up form will be advertised via this newsletter and across ATE’s social media channels.
