The People’s Health Trust is offering grant under “Active Communities Funding Programme” to create or shape local projects that will help their community or neighbourhood to become even better.
The program supports participants to come up with their own locally determined ideas, in order to strengthen social connections and encourage greater collective control. By enabling participants to take the lead and by putting processes in place to address issues that are important to them.
Projects
- People’s Health Trust funds two types of projects:
- Neighborhood-based projects – resident-led projects in neighborhoods experiencing disadvantage because they are the most affected by health inequalities.
- Communities of Interest – projects which connect groups of people with shared identities, experiences, characteristics, or common interests who face additional barriers to good health due to discrimination and further inequality
- Projects need to:
- Be designed and led by local people
- Support their neighbourhood or community to come together to address an issue that is important to them
- Create stronger connections between people by supporting them to meet up regularly
- Be for people who experience greater social and economic disadvantage than people living in other parts of the country
