The funder states that a growing number of large and small charities are now providing travel training schemes. Through their new Travel Confidence Grant Programme they will help them, and travel providers, to make an immediate impact for disabled people.
Examples of grant funding from this programme could include (but are not limited to):
- Grants to improve awareness of responsibilities and influence policy and practice in the transport sector
- Funding to embed a user-led approach to inclusive design and delivery of transport services
- Grants to scale, promote awareness of, and increase access to, travel training programmes that increase skills, knowledge, confidence, choice and control when travelling
- Grants to support the development of accessible tools and technology solutions that support journey planning and in-journey navigation
Charities and organisations can apply for grants from £100,000 to £1.5 million.
