We have opened new grants to support community and shared transport services that enable disabled people to make the journeys they choose and live with greater dignity and independence.
The grants are part of our new funding rounds, which were announced in July to support the delivery of our new five-year strategy.
Driving Change in Communities
Charities and organisations can apply for grants to enhance existing services or launch new initiatives that improve transport access for disabled people. Funding can be used for staffing, vehicles, operational costs, and infrastructure.
To widen access, we have updated our eligibility criteria, and welcome applications from organisations that have been active for least three years and have a turnover of £50,000 or more.
Grant programmes available:
- Large Grants: £150,000 to £1 million
- Small Grants: £50,000 to £149,999
Investing in Innovation and Sector Resilience
Alongside direct service funding we’ve also launched a dedicated funding round to support innovation and resilience in the community transport sector. This includes projects exploring new operating models, shared infrastructure, collaborative approaches, and volunteer development.
Funding for these projects ranges from £50,000 to £1 million over one to three years.
"Create immediate impact"
Ruba Aljarf, Programme Director at the Motability Foundation, said: “We’re proud to launch these transformative funding rounds to support organisations making a real difference in disabled people’s lives.
"Through these funding rounds we want to create immediate impact and build a stronger, more innovative community and shared transport sector for the future.
“Accessible transport is essential for ensuring disabled people can live the lives they choose, and we want to collaborate with a range of organisations to build transport equity together.”
