Launched by Walking Scotland in partnership with Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), the SPT community path fund offers grants of up to £10,000 for projects that enhance path networks.

The fund supports improvements such as new paths, upgraded surfacing, lighting, accessible seating, signage and planting.

It can also cover design work for future path projects and the removal of physical barriers to improve access for wheelchair users, cargo bikes and adapted equipment.
