People and Place Grant Fund
People and Place Grant Fund
The People and Place Grant Fund is for public bodies, charities or community organisations (note that local authorities are not eligible for this fund as they will receive funding via a different route) who have experience in delivering large sustainable transport behaviour change projects. The grant fund will support projects with a minimum value of £50,000.
To meet strategic active and sustainable behaviour change objectives across the region, we have a specific list of eligible projects – successful applications will need to achieve one of these interventions. The list of interventions can be found in the .
