About our grants to charities and organisations
In 2022, we launched a new £50 million portfolio of grant programmes to provide even more support to disabled people through other charities and organisations. Since then, we have awarded £38.7 million in grants to 76 grants to charities and organisations who provide transport, help to access it, or research how to make transport accessible for disabled people.
We are asking organisations interested in applying for funding through these programmes, to submit their Stage One application by 8 October 2024. We cannot accept new Stage One applications for this round of funding beyond this date. For charities and organisations who are currently receiving a grant from us, this does not impact funding during your grant term.
Our programmes are based on research and insight which shows where our grant-funding can have the biggest impact for disabled people. They help to address the challenges that disabled people face accessing transport right now, while we continue our own research and innovation work into longer-term solutions to make all transport accessible.
We have six grant programmes available for charities and organisations to apply for:
- Community Transport
- Wheelchair Sector
- Research
- Active Travel
- Travelling with Confidence
- Reducing Barriers to Driving
Charities and organisations can apply for grants from £50,000 up to £4 million.
Each application will be assessed consistently against our criteria to ensure fair and transparent awarding of funding and to deliver the greatest impact to as many disabled people as possible.
We aim to respond to enquiries regarding the grants to charities and organisations programmes within 5 working days.
We are committed to continuing our support for disabled people through these six programmes, using £50 million of the donation we received this year. This new funding will be available for charities and organisations, including existing grant-holders, to apply for in 2025.
