New Cycle Friendly Communities Fund No comments yet
Cycling Scotland have announced new funding for the 2011/2012 Cycle Friendly Communities Fund.
Now in its fourth year, the fund was established with the aim of increasing the wellbeing of communities, enabling more people to have more opportunities to cycle and to use cycling as a way to achieve local outcomes.
Grants of up to £5000 are available to projects that demonstrate effective ways of delivering benefits to communities through cycling. These projects will align well with the fund criteria and should; Promote Inclusion, Support the Community, Encourage Health Gain, Support Personal Development, Promote Cycling and play a role in Greening society.
For 2011 successful projects will also benefit from new partnership agreement between Cycling Scotland and Cycling Projects to provide additional support for projects promoting inclusion. As a result of the partnership, projects will be offered Wheels for All training, invitation to a Wheels for All taster session, as well as consultation support and advice.
Full information on the fund and application forms can be found at http://www.cyclingscotland.org/our-projects/award-schemes/cycle-friendly-community-project/
The closing date for the 2011 fund is Monday 30th May, 12 noon.
