  4. Supporting initiatives that seek to remove health inequalities and disparity in health outcomes
  5. Supporting the integrated care partnerships to reduce stress on the NHS and provide wrap around provision for patients.
     

    Thriving Communities Fund

    The Thriving Communities Fund will support local voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise projects that bring together place-based partnerships to improve and increase the range and reach of available social prescribing community connecting activities – especially for those people most impacted by COVID19 and health inequalities.

    Grants of between £25,000-£50,000 are available. Applicants will need to provide 20% match funding. Projects will run for a year including planning and delivery time, commencing on 15 March 2021 and ending on 31 March 2022.
