Walking and Cycling Grants London (WCGL) and Community Ideas Grants, funded by Transport for London and The London Marathon Foundation, aim to enable all Londoners to enjoy the freedom and health benefits of walking and cycling.
Walking and Cycling Grants
In 2024 we will fund grants of up to £8,000 over two years, with a potential for projects to extend to a third year. Grants are available to community groups, charities and social enterprises to deliver walking and cycling projects. Example projects include led cycle rides and walks, giving participants the opportunity to learn to cycle or repair bikes.
To date the scheme has helped over 78,000 participants in 33 boroughs to get more out of walking and cycling through activities such as rides for children with disabilities, learning to cycle or repair bikes, or walks for people suffering from ill health or isolation.
Community Ideas Grants
Community Ideas Grants offer up to £5,000 for one year for projects that encourage walking and cycling. Grants are available to community groups, charities and social enterprises to deliver walking and cycling projects that help get their local communities active, improve health and wellbeing and reduce social isolation (conditions apply). Applicants can select from a list of template project ideas to deliver in their area and will receive additional support throughout the project process. Example projects include walks for children with disabilities, learning to cycle or repair bikes, or walks for people suffering from ill health or isolation.
