What FundingLens helps you do

Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.

01

Check whether the source is open to community organisations or routed through local authorities, schools, transport bodies or partnerships.

02

Map the project to walking, wheeling, cycling, infrastructure, innovation, access, safety, health or environmental outcomes.

03

Record permissions, landowner issues, community need, delivery partners, maintenance, evaluation and deadline constraints.

Readiness checks

  • Applicant route and delivery role understood.
  • Active travel outcome and geography matched.

  • Deadline and source status verified.

Eligibility caveats
