Community groups and not-for-profit organisations are encouraged to apply for cycling grants, to help them promote pedal power through initiatives such as cycle training, bike maintenance and guided rides.
Cycling Grants London is a new programme funded by1466 Transport for London (TfL) and managed by the environmental regeneration charity, Groundwork. It offers funding to community groups such as residents’ associations, charities and youth groups for projects that encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to cycle safely.
New cycling projects can apply from today for up to US$16,000 in funding over a three year period. Projects that have previously received cycling grants from TfL will be eligible for top-up grants up to US$5,000 to help them continue delivering existing initiatives. The deadline for funding applications is 21 September.
Ben Plowden, TfL’s director of Surface Strategy and Planning, said: “London is experiencing phenomenal growth in cycling, and we are committed to helping everyone learn how to cycle safely through our Cycling Grants London programme. Working with Groundwork we hope that community groups will take up the challenge and develop projects that will hone skills of infrequent riders and those new to cycling.”
Lindy Kelly, executive director of Groundwork London, said: “We’re excited to receive our first applications for funding and are very much looking forward to helping new and existing community cycling projects take off.”
