Does your community group run projects that help people improve their health and wellbeing? The London Community Foundation has a new grant fund to support local projects – here’s the details:
Lambeth Wellbeing fund
Small grants funding available for local projects to help people improve their health and wellbeing. We know that people who have good social connections are healthier and better able to deal with health problems if they arise, including managing long-term health conditions. If you have an idea for a project why not apply for a grant. We are particularly interested in projects which reach the most isolated people in the community who don’t currently access any other activities
Projects must support participants to address at least one of the following:
- Being able to manage their own health and wellbeing (or condition) and being supported to do so. This also includes having access to the right information and support, and being able to stay healthy;
- Being able to have the right things in place to help them to avoid a crisis, or to limit the impact of a crisis, particularly for people who are living independently;
- Feeling that they are part of a community.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available for projects which:
- Are based in Vassall, Coldharbour, Stockwell, Ferndale and Larkhall wards
- Are based in other neighbourhoods in Lambeth
Grants of up to £10,000 are available for projects which support tenants of Helmi House, Hillyard House and Lingham Court extra care facilities.
Deadline for applications: 5pm on Friday 21st October 2016
