Transport for London (TfL) and the London Marathon Foundation have awarded more than £550,000 of funding to support 61 new projects and 119 continuing initiatives run by community groups.
The funding comes as part of the Walking and Cycling Grants London (WCGL) programme, with each investment designed to unlock barriers to walking and cycling for Londoners.
A record 209 applications were received this year, up 50 per cent on 2024, reflecting the scheme’s growing popularity and its vital role in empowering more Londoners from all backgrounds to choose active travel.
Almost £280,000 of the funding has been dedicated to ongoing projects, to continue their work within communities.
More than £270,000 has been awarded to new one year initiatives, with the projects set to projects will benefit over 10,000 Londoners across 32 boroughs including Hounslow, Barnet, Ealing and the City of London.
London’s walking and cycling commissioner, Will Norman, said: “The mayor and I share a vision for a London where everyone can walk and cycle confidently as part of their daily journeys.
“That’s why I’m delighted that TfL’s grants programme continues to support community groups in breaking down barriers to active travel for traditionally underrepresented groups.
“The Mayor and I remain committed to supporting projects that help Londoners from all backgrounds stay healthy and connected with their communities as we build a greener, better London for everyone.”
