Community groups can now bid for up to £5,000 via the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s community grants scheme, to encourage people to get out and about in the region.
The money will go towards specific active travel projects such as low-cost bike hire schemes, supplying walking and cycling equipment like walking boots and bike locks, free or reduced-cost bike repairs and servicing, or providing information about local cycling and walking routes.
Community, voluntary, and not-for-profit organisations are all eligible to apply for the grant, with applications now open.
For support groups wanting to apply for funding, the Combined Authority is hosting a series of online and in-person workshops from Thursday 17th April to help refine ideas and develop application writing skills.
