Overview

Who can apply for the scheme?

Individuals and groups from the voluntary and community sector can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to develop and run projects which are aimed at improving road safety or the take up of active travel in local communities. Individuals can only apply for funding if they are working in partnership with a community group, which must be involved in the application process.

To qualify, groups must be properly constituted, have a bank account and be able to complete the project by 4 March 2022.

You can only apply as an individual if you’re working in partnership with a community group. The group must be involved in the application process.

What projects will be considered?

The scheme is designed to support achievement of the targets contained within the Northern Ireland Road Safety Strategy and the draft Programme for Government outcomes associated with increasing active travel, by funding community-based projects by not-for-profit community groups.

Increasing the number of people choosing to walk or cycle for short journeys and reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on Northern Ireland roads are key priorities for the Department.
