Grant Applications Open for Community Groups to Boost Fitness in Harrow

"By showing that walking and cycling are convenient, easy, and fun ways to get around, we can help improve the health and quality of life of more Londoners, as well as reduce toxic air pollution and tackle the climate crisis," says Will Norman, London's walking and cycling commissioner.

That's why he's offering $500,000 in grants to community and not-for-profit groups in the British capital to promote walking and cycling, the BBC reports.

The grants, from the Transport for London agency in partnership with the London Marathon Foundation and administered by Groundwork London, offer up to $10,000 over three years to successful applicants who propose projects that increase walking and cycling levels, particularly among traditionally underrepresented groups in Harrow.

For community initiatives based on successful projects from other areas, Community Ideas Grants are also available.

These grants offer $5,000 for a single year to replicate proven projects, further fostering the community's connection and promoting physical and mental health.

"The Mayor and I want Londoners from all walks of life to feel enabled to walk and cycle, so I'm delighted that even more community groups will now benefit from our walking and cycling grants to boost active travel in underrepresented groups," Norman says.
