UP to £50,000 in Health Lottery funding grants is up for grabs for those in Redditch wanting to make their community a better place.
Local groups and organisations with great ideas to make their communities an even better place to live are now invited to apply for funding raised by HealthThrive through The Health Lottery.
The People’s Health Trust is looking to invest in projects that support people living in disadvantaged areas and the money is available to not-for-profit groups with an income of less than £350,000 a year, or an average of £350,000 over two years, seeking investment of between £5,000 and £50,000 for projects lasting up to two years.
Projects can be anything that encourages strong connections between people, and that help people to make their communities or neighbourhoods better places to be.
John Hume, Chief Executive, People’s Health Trust, said: “We’re looking to support ideas designed and run by local people which help create even stronger links and ties within communities.
“Whether it’s a women’s volunteering group run by and for Bengali women; a computer skills support group run for and by older people; support for local people to become community organisers; or young people living with mental ill-health wishing to address access to work issues or discrimination, we’re interested to hear about it.”
“We’re looking for small projects, genuinely designed and run by local people. Even just a small group of people on an estate, in a few streets or villages are eligible to apply.”
Applications are invited until April 5 at 1pm and for more information and support with the application process, email [email protected], visit www.peopleshealthtrust.org.uk or call 01684 312751.
