Richmond groups are amongst those specifically invited to the launch of this new grant scheme, which is part of Walking and Cycling Grants London.

The Community Ideas Grants will be available to smaller community groups, charities and social enterprises who may not have applied for a grant before. Applicants select from a list of pre-approved project ideas to deliver in their community and will receive further support throughout the application and the project delivery period.

The launch event on 5 August will share details about the scheme – how to apply, what support is available, project ideas, plus a talk from a current Walking and Cycling Grants London grantee.

They want to reach as many smaller groups as possible and are particularly interested in receiving applications for projects that will run in Richmond.

The online Community Ideas Hub offers a wide range of ideas and information, such as nature and heritage walks and outdoor activities that help mental health and reduce isolation. Visit the Community Ideas Hub here.

The launch event is on Thursday 5 August 2021, from 5pm – 6pm. Register now by clicking here.
