Social housing providers across Scotland interested in improving cycle parking, storage, shelter and security at their properties can now apply for up to £25,000 in funding per site through the Social Housing Partnership Fund.
Delivered by Cycling Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, Sustrans Scotland and Living Streets Scotland, and financed by Transport Scotland, the Social Housing Partnership Fund aims to help provide facilities that make it easier, more enjoyable and more accessible for people to walk and cycle.
Cycling Scotland said active travel can play a key role in helping to overcome transport poverty, and health and socioeconomic inequalities. The Social Housing Partnership Fund prioritises support for areas of multiple deprivation. The facilities funded are intended to contribute to reducing residents’ barriers to cycling and active travel, to enhance wellbeing, and to create liveable, more pleasant communities.
