Healthy Heart Fund in the UK

Deadline: 13-Jan-23

The Suffolk Community Foundation is inviting applications for Healthy Heart Fund that aims to help people live longer and healthier lives by preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Suffolk.

Objectives
  • The main objectives of the fund are to:

    • Increase uptake of the NHS Health Check by eligible high-risk groups. 
    • Increase awareness of CVD, the risk factors, and how to take preventative action of all adults (18+ years) within high-risk groups. 
    • Increase engagement in local prevention services of all adults (18+ years) within high-risk groups, such as OneLife Suffolk’s programmes for adult weight management, adult physical activity and stop smoking. 
Themes
  • Projects should address at least one of the 4 themes:

    • Increase the uptake of NHS Health Checks in high-risk groups.
    • Support positive behaviour change following an NHS Health Check in high-risk groups e.g., awareness, access, and engagement with local/national prevention services to stop smoking, lose weight, reduce alcohol intake, increase physical activity.
    • Increase awareness of CVD, the main risk factors and how to prevent CVD through improved communication with high-risk groups above 18 years of age.
    • Increase engagement of high-risk groups in local services and local/national self-help resources to support with CVD prevention e.g. OneLife Suffolk.
Funding Information
  • Grants of up to £6,000 to help people live longer and healthier lives by preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Suffolk.
Eligible Projects
  • All projects must address CVD prevention within at least one high-risk group, ideally (but not exclusively):

    • People living in more deprived areas
    • Males 
    • Older adults 
    • People from Minority Ethnic groups where CVD is more prevalent, notably South Asian and African or Caribbean. 
    • People who do not readily or easily access health services.
Criteria
  • Funding from Suffolk County Council to help people live longer and healthier lives by preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Suffolk.
  • Clearly demonstrate how the proposed project will work towards increasing awareness and engagement of CVD prevention opportunities by addressing 1 of more of the 4 funding themes.
  • Evidence how the proposed project will support at least one of the identified high-risk groups.
  • The project’s target audience must be involved in the development of the project either pre- or post-application, through active participation (known as co-production). This must be evidenced.

  • Plan how the organisation will demonstrate impact and measure what changes have occurred as a result of the project.
  • Take account of other work and partnerships in the area the project is seeking to work in.
