West Yorkshire Combined Authority has £600,000 available for community organisations to help more people walk, wheel and cycle. Two types of grant are available: Community Grants of up to £5,000 and Active Travel Hub Grants of up to £50,000.
Walking, wheeling and cycling is sometimes referred to as "active travel". "Wheeling" means using things like wheelchairs, scooters or skateboards for travel.
Many people in West Yorkshire don't have the choice to walk, wheel or cycle because they lack the skills, confidence and other resources required. By providing support, services or community projects, you can help open up the benefits of the Weaver Network to everyone in our region.
You can apply for a grant if your organisation is one of the following, registered or constituted in the UK:
Community Grants
Community Grants of up to £5,000 are available for smaller grassroots projects that encourage a specific group or audience within the community to walk, wheel or cycle.
Examples of projects a community grant might support:
Active Travel Hub Grants
Active Travel Hub Grants of up to £50,000 are available for organisations to develop a hub of information, equipment and activity around walking, wheeling and cycling.
A seven-day online match funding campaign working with charities dedicated to serving the women and girls in our communities.
Grants for capital projects are available to small and medium-sized charities registered in the UK working to assist homeless people to rebuild their lives and return to the community.
