ZEN’s workplace travel grant scheme is now open!
ZEN workplace grants of up to £2,500 are available to purchase a cargo bike for sustainable travel and deliveries for your workplace. Applications that help facilitate a switch from a diesel or petrol vehicle to a cargo bike are particularly encouraged. This year the grant is available for businesses or organisations in the City of London, Westminster, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Newham. You must be a ZEN member to apply, sign up here.
Step 1: Register your interest in a ZEN grant
Step 2: Complete a ZEN grant application form and staff travel survey. This will be emailed to you after registering your interest.
Step 3: Applications assessed and grants awarded.
There are 3 assessment dates for applications:
- 17 June 2025
- 14 July 2025
- 8 September 2025 (Final application closing date)
Applications received on or before each assessment date will be scored. Get your application in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Successful applicants will be notified within 2 weeks after each assessment date. If you are unsuccessful after either of the first 2 assessment dates, your application will still be reviewed on the 8 September, where all remaining grants will be awarded.
