Funding Opportunity - The Cycle Friendly and Sustainable Communities Fund

14th November 2015

The Cycle Friendly and Sustainable Communities Fund (Scotland).

Communities can now apply for grants of up to £5,000 to deliver local cycling projects. The purpose of the Cycle Friendly and Sustainable Communities Fund (CFSCF) is to support groups to encourage cycling in their community and to deliver a sustainable cycling project.

This Transport Scotland funded grant scheme enables community groups to support and deliver projects with an overall aim to increase the number of local journeys by bike. Reducing single occupancy car use and increasing active travel options will result in reduced local transport related carbon emissions and increased health and wellbeing of the community. The maximum amount community groups can apply for is £5,000.

The types of expenditure that the grant can be used for includes the purchase of bikes; purchase of cycle training; storage for bikes; safety equipment; bike tools; the development of cycle maps; and bike events that will contribute to behaviour change and increased bike use; etc. The closing date for applications is 5pm on the 27th November 2015.
