Young active travel - Trust and Grants
A Charitable Trust has been established to attract sponsorship and other voluntary giving to invest in supporting sustainable travel to school and children’s road safety.
The aims of the Trust are;
“to preserve and protect public health, particularly the health of school-children in Birmingham by i) supporting initiatives which raise awareness about road safety, health, exercise and fitness; and ii) changing behaviours towards travel to school”
Schools and constituted groups of parents located within the geographic boundary of Birmingham City Council can apply for grants of up to £1,000 per school to:
- support the development and implementation of School Travel Plans
- increase sustainable travel to school
- improve children’s safety as they travel to and from school
Applications are considered each term. The next applications will be accepted during the Autumn term, between September and December 2024.
To apply for a grant, download an application form and guidance notes and return completed applications to connected@birmingham.gov.uk
