Deadline: 11-Jul-22
The East End Community Foundation (EECF) is seeking applications for its Tower Hamlets: Community Covid Vaccine Fund.
Insight work across Tower Hamlets has identified that changing behaviour in those who remain unvaccinated or who are partially vaccinated will require them to overcome hesitancy about the Covid19 vaccine. Reasons for vaccine hesitancy vary between individuals and communities, so the approaches that they take to help address hesitancy also need to be varied according to the needs of different groups to be effective.
