The Ways to Wellbeing Small Grants Fund is now open to applications for funding to support projects across the city that enhance community connections and address health inequalities.
This year we are delighted to again be collaborating with the City of York Council Public Health Team to distribute £70,000 of funding to local VCSE sector organisations to address public health priorities in the city.
What we want to achieve
We want to fund projects that achieve at least one of the following aims:
- Enhancing community connections: Enabling isolated people, especially those who feel marginalised, to engage in and feel more connected with their community and informal support networks.
- Addressing health inequalities: Improving health and addressing the causes of health inequalities, particularly in areas of deprivation or for those disadvantaged by inequality in the city.
- Underpinning both aims is a focus on early intervention and prevention
Who can apply?
Any Voluntary, Community or Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisation. This could include community groups, clubs, charities and other not-for-profits. If you’ve got a great idea but have never applied for funding before please get in contact with our team as we’re always keen to help people get started.
