  • Sustrans Scotland - ArtRoots Fund

    Created: 02/07/2024
    News/Events Category: Funding and Finance


    ArtRoots is a grant fund for artistic and aesthetic improvements along traffic-free National Cycle Network paths in Scotland. The fund supports and inspires community engagement, and help communities shape their local National Cycle Network with creative ideas: artworks, events, performances, installations and much more.

    The fund supports communities to shape their local environment by realising their creative ideas along traffic-free routes of the National Cycle Network. The fund supports local enterprise, talent, and culture by backing projects identified through local consultation and engagement by communities themselves.

    Fund award sizes

    Maximum: £6,000

    Notes on award amounts: The standard grant awarded for an ArtRoots project is £2,500. A higher award of £6,000 is available for projects which can demonstrate how an increased award would significantly impact project outcomes and achieve a greater increase in new walking, wheeling and cycling journeys.

    Who can apply

    Community groups, social enterprises, and other organisations involved in local community engagement activities in Scotland.

    Exclusions

    General path maintenance or re-surfacing, building new paths, structural repairs of existing infrastructure, e.g. bridges, walls etc. and recoverable VAT.

    How to apply

    Fill in the online expression of interest form via the Sustrans website. You will then be contacted within two weeks by a Sustrans officer who will either request further information from you or advise you on how to make a full application via the Sustrans Portal.

    Total annual funding is limited, so preference will be given to applications submitted by 1st September 2024.

    The closing date for applications is Tuesday 15 October 2024.
