Thank you to our colleague Steve Baylis for highlighting the following:

Community Minibus Fund

The Department for Transport has launched a second round of the Community Minibus Fund which is being administered by the Community Transport Association.

The £25 million fund has already provided funding for 350 minibuses to community transport operators across England and the second round will ensure more organisations will benefit from a new vehicle.

The total value of the second round of the Community Minibus Fund is £2 million and is open to educational organisations and community groups, including community transport operators, across England.

Please note that organisations that received an award from the first round of the Community Minibus Fund will not be eligible for the second round.

The deadline for bids is 17:00 on Friday 2 December 2016.

If you require additional support in completing your application you can contact the CTA at mailto:minibusfund@ctauk.orgMore information at: http://www.ctauk.org/advice-and-information/minibus-fund.aspx

 

I trust this is useful and as ever, please circulate as you feel appropriate.

Kindest regards

Edwin
