Background


Cycling Scotland’s Cycling Friendly programmes support organisations in employer, community, campus, school and social housing settings across Scotland who are committed to encouraging cycling.


Before You Start

To complete the application, you will need the following information:
  • Contact, organisation and project site details
  • Your Cycling Friendly Award information, if applicable
  • Background on any cycling and active travel projects you delivered, as well as any relevant figures about current cycling rates you may have
  • Detailed information on the project you are applying for, including any consultation that has taken place, what barriers will be addressed, and who you will work with to deliver the project
  • The item or activities and the associated costs you are applying for - quotes are helpful but not essential to apply
  • An idea of your organisation's contribution to the project, which may be staff time, match funding or equivalent contribution
Process

This application form gathers the information needed to assess your project. Once submitted, a member of Cycling Scotland staff will review your application. The review may include discussion at an expert panel, and come to a decision on funding. A staff member may contact you during this process to gather further information if required.

Guidance

 

Please read the Guidance for Applicants before starting your application. We recommend contacting a member of Cycling Scotland to discuss your bid and get support at cyclingfriendly@cycling.scot. Please also read over the terms and conditions of the funding.

 

Funds are allocated on a competitive basis and your bid should provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of what you intend to use the funds for. Remember that the funding panel is unlikely to know about your organisation and your proposed project beyond what you write in your application.

Project budget (organisational contribution)

We expect that all projects will be making some kind of contribution to the project, whether through in kind contributions (staff time, use of premises etc.), match funding (financial contributions)  or other means.

Match funding is a consideration when assessing bids, and is used by Cycling Scotland to understand the overall scope of a project bid.

Please add specific details for each item by clicking "add another response" at the bottom of the page.
Organisational contribution

Value in-kind are non-cash contributions by the applicant organisation, e.g. staff time to deliver the project.           Match funding is any cash contribution to support the project.

Project outcomes

In this section, please define what your project aims to achieve (the outcomes), how long this will take, and any risks that may affect your ability to deliver.

If you have any additional outcomes you wish to tell us about, please add a third outcome using the same link, select the 'Other' option, and provide more detail.
