NHS Charities Together Covid-19 Community Partnership Grants
Deadline (first stage) January 31st, 2021 (opens January 10th).
NHS Charities Together Community Partnership Grants are aimed at supporting the wider NHS and voluntary and community sector in dealing with the impact of Covid-19, particularly on those disproportionally affected.
Funding will be targeted towards reducing inequalities for those disproportionately affected by the direct and indirect impacts of Covid-19. These populations will be defined based on place and local need and will include specific neighbourhoods in our communities ranked as being most deprived, those with population characteristics including age, ethnicity and disability, and specific communities of interest such as rough sleepers, refugees and asylum seekers.
The total funding available across the North East and North Cumbria is £1.4 million, and is expected to support a wide geographical reach of initiatives. Applicants must meet the brief of supporting communities impacted by Covid-19 through innovative partnerships with relevant social and health care organisations (public and/or VCSE sector).
The fund is part of Thriving Communities, a new support programme for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups supporting communities in England impacted by Covid-19, working alongside social prescribing link workers. It also includes the Thriving Communities Fund, which is designed to increase social connectedness, and help communities cope with the impact of Covid-19.
