Grants of up to £1,500 are available to community groups (annual income up to £35,000) working on health improvement projects. The next deadline for applications is 5pm Friday 17th July 2015 (Sussex Community Foundation are managing the grant giving process).
A few examples of things funded in the past include:
- Community festivals with a health and well-being focus
- Singing groups
- Serving healthy food in a group
- Exercise classes for women from BME communities
- Women only swimming sessions
- Weekly meet ups and social events for specific communities
- And much more!
As well as the usual criteria, this round there is a particular emphasis on supporting older people’s projects to promote health and well-being – such as physical activities, intergenerational work and projects around food and healthy eating.
There is help available to make your application – see contact details below or at the information session.
