Deadline: 18-Nov-22
The Derbyshire County Council is seeking applications for its Recovery from Alcohol and Drug Dependence Grant to support people to achieve and sustain recovery from drug or alcohol dependence.
Aim of the grant
The aim of this grant is to financially support organisations for a maximum of 12 months who can provide meaningful activity and positively increase social connections amongst people in or working towards recovery. They expect organisations to be able to demonstrate how their project will help Derbyshire residents throughout treatment and into long term recovery. This could be done in a number of ways, and they welcome innovative ideas for providing this support.
Funding Information
Grants are now available to organisations in Derbyshire to deliver activities which support people to achieve and sustain recovery from drug or alcohol dependence in Derbyshire from June 2023 to May 2024. They are offering organisations the opportunity to apply for a single, non-recurring grant up to a maximum of £40,000 including VAT and all other costs.
Eligible Activities
This support could include activities to:
- improve physical and mental health and well-being
- provide purposeful activity, including education, skills training, volunteering, and employment
- help develop social networks
- develop financial capability
- develop positive thinking and effective decision making
- build confidence and self-esteem
Eligibility Criteria
They want to encourage small, local organisations who can provide recovery support to bid for the funds. They have therefore imposed an eligibility cap of £1 million on the annual income of the organisations who are able to bid for the grant.
