The Paths for all is seeking applications for its Community Paths Grants Program to support communities to create, promote and maintain local community paths.
Their funding provides communities with the resources they need to upgrade, promote and maintain community paths close to where they live by:
- Creating new volunteering opportunities for everyone;
- Bringing communities together to work and learn from each other;
- Creating better places for people to explore and enjoy;
- Creating links that people can use as part of their everyday travel;
- Improving communities’ health and wellbeing by getting people more physically active outdoors and in contact with nature.
Priorities
They will give priority to projects which will engage and empower:
- young people
- people on low incomes
- people with poor physical or mental health, or people who are experiencing exclusion
- communities in or close to their towns or cities, particularly those in the 20% most deprived areas
- communities to get more physically active outdoors
- take action to address climate change

- improve and maintain existing paths
- buy tools, materials and insurance
- hire a contractor, plant and machinery
- install signage and way markers
