Funding for Sustainable and Active Travel in the UK

Naturesave Trust is currently accepting applications to its Spring 2025 round.

This small, registered charity is the charitable arm of Naturesave Insurance, an ethical insurance provider, and provides funding three times a year to support specific UK-based environmental, conservation and community renewable energy projects.

The Trust offers funding for a different theme each year.

This year, grants of up to £5,000 are for projects that actively promote sustainable and eco-friendly approaches to travel and transport.

NatureSave is looking to support the following types of projects:

  • Vehicles – clean fuel, batteries or both. This can include electric vehicles, hybrid power systems and fuel cells.

  • Infrastructure – such as public transportation systems.

  • Energy source – using renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels like coal.

  • Activity – walking, cycling or using a scooter instead of driving. 

Applications are accepted from a range of UK based organisations, including charities, social enterprises, voluntary organisations, small grassroots community groups and businesses.

To be eligible, the organisation and/or project must be entirely based in the UK and have a website or social media presence.

There are three funding windows per year: January to February; May to June; and September to October.

The application deadline for the current round is 27 February 2025 (12 noon).
