The Active Travel Social Prescribing Fund is now closed to new applications
We are offering organisations and businesses in Cornwall the opportunity to apply for funding as part of the Active Travel Social Prescribing (ATSP) pilot, provided by Active Travel England. The application window is open from Thursday 1 February 2024 to midnight on Sunday 17 March 2024. The ATSP Fund will remain open until it is fully committed or Sunday 17 March 2024, whichever is the sooner. Early applications are strongly encouraged.
The Fund is part of the wider ATSP pilot, delivered by Public Health and Healthy Cornwall working with Transport and other partners. Its aim is to reduce health inequality and make active lifestyles more attractive and achievable. By ‘Active Travel’ we mean getting from A to B in a more physically active way, like walking, cycling, and wheeling. The ATSP Fund has been set up to address local community identified need. Proposals must demonstrate a contribution to modal shift (choosing to walk or cycle as a way of getting about).
The ATSP Fund can be used to support revenue and small capital projects that support adults in
- Bodmin
- St Austell and the China Clay area
- and Penzance (including Newlyn, Heamoor and Gulval)
to make a modal shift to active travel. Proposals should be focused on delivering behaviour change activities, such as:
- supporting individuals who have been socially prescribed active travel to engage in cycling, walking and wheeling activities;
- encouraging travelling by active means (principally cycling, walking and wheeling or as part of a multi-modal journey using public transport);
- reducing the barriers individuals face to travel actively.
