The Scottish Episcopal Church have opened a new Sustainable Travel Grant, which is now available for charges and dioceses to apply for.
The Sustainable Travel Grant aims to support charges and
dioceses in adopting more sustainable travel practices, thereby contributing to the Net Zero 2030 vision.
The purpose of the Sustainable Travel Grant is to:
- Reduce CO2e emissions from church-business related travel by encouraging people to adopt the Sustainable Travel Hierarchy.
- Promote active travel, public transport, and the use of electric vehicles (EVs).
- Encourage innovative solutions for sustainable travel within the church community.
- Support the Sustainable Travel Hierarchy as described in the revised Sustainable Travel section of the Provincial Net Zero Action Plan (2023-2030). This revision replaces the Active Travel section of the original plan.
Daniel Prince, Clean Energy Advisor, led a webinar last week about what sustainable travel is and how to access the new grant. You can catch up on this via the Funding page or below:

The Net Zero Team look forward to finding out how charges and dioceses might use this money to help encourage sustainable travel within our church communities.
