‘ Public, community or third sector organisations are also eligible provided they are legally constituted, have a governing body, a democratically elected management committee and a governing document that has been formally adopted. ’ so basically any properly organised clubs or groups as well.
Sole traders can also apply
Also pretty certain Scotland already has (or has had) a 100% equivalent grant in place.
The main goal of this grant is to try and support the government’s (formally terribly named Green Mile) initiative that prevents the last mile of any delivery being made by a van or car as they’ve calculated this minor change would have a huge impact. This is why it’s focusing on businesses and organisations rather than individuals.
Rather than moan it doesn’t currently support your needs, why not see if you can encourage your local businesses to get involved, if this has a good uptake then the government might follow through with their eBike grant they’ve been muttering about for a while which would be available for everyone
