Funding is available for projects to help Londoners benefit from the joys of walking and cycling.

Transport for London (TfL), in partnership with The London Marathon Charitable Trust, are offering Community Ideas grants of up to £5,000 over 1 year, or Walking and Cycling grants of up to £8,000 over 2 years, to fund projects that engage communities across London in safe, enjoyable and inclusive walking and cycling activities.

You can apply if you are a community organisation, charity,  third sector organisation, not-for-profit organisation, community interest company or social enterprise in Greater London.

The Communities Ideas grants are specifically for smaller community groups, charities and social enterprises who may not have applied for a grant or run a community project before. Applicants pick from a list of templates of previously successful project ideas and receive more support throughout the application and project delivery period.

The objectives of the programme are to:

• increase walking and cycling in London (including new, lapsed or occasional cyclists)
• increase confidence in walking and cycling
• increase walking and cycling frequency
• make bike ownership more accessible
• introduce exercise to people who are particularly inactive via walking and cycling
• reduce social isolation and get people involved in their local community.

The closing date for the current funding round is 10am on Friday 9 September 2024.
