Details

The tackling loneliness with transport fund is now closed. Details of successful bidders have been published.

The pilot schemes ended on 31 July 2023. Results are being evaluated.

This project, funded through the Shared Outcomes Fund and led by the Department for Transport (DfT), aims to develop the evidence base for how transport can help to alleviate loneliness.

It offers grant funding to the public and charity sectors to run pilot transport schemes that aim to reduce loneliness. The pilots will be measured and evaluated rigorously, enabling DfT to:

• understand more about how transport can be used to help reduce loneliness
• share findings with organisations within and outside government

DfT wants to empower local authorities, third sector organisations and charities to consider the role of transport in tackling loneliness.
