Walking and Cycling Grants London
For new projects in 2026 Walking and Cycling Grants London (WCGL) will fund grants of up to £10,000 and supporting activity between February and September 2027 for Year 1 activity, January - September 2028 for Year 2 activity, January - September 2029 for Year 3 activity.
Community groups and organisations can apply to create activities that allow all communities across London to enjoy the benefits of walking and cycling.
We work with groups whose participants need encouragement and support to get them walking and cycling.
We support a range of projects and a sample of these projects can be found under Project Ideas, you may have a unique idea yourself that you may want to apply for.

Community Ideas Grants
The Community Ideas Grants fund grants of up to £5,000 for one year projects to smaller community groups, charities and social enterprises who may not have applied for a grant or run a community project before. You can pick from a template list of previously successful walking or cycling project ideas to run in your community, and will receive more support throughout the application and project delivery period.
Community Ideas Grant Applications can be found through this link Here
Type of grant
Organisations can apply for up to £5,000 for projects that run over one year.
Applications are judged against the scoring criteria set. Funding is limited so we urge applicants to consider whether they need to submit more than one, as we aim to support as many organisations as possible. For advice and guidance contact the grants administrators at wcgl@groundwork.org.uk
