Health and wellbeing organizations typically rely on single/few public sector contracts and if/when those contracts are decommissioned or funding cut, the organizations are placed at immediate risk;
Demand for flexible, innovative community health and wellbeing support is growing, and needs are going unmet currently which results in avoidable hospital admissions;
Prevention and early intervention will help to reduce demand on our already strained NHS commissioned services.
Funding Information
Grants of up to £20,000 per year for up to 2 years are available.
While the maximum grant award is £20,000 per year, the fund anticipates that the average grant will be between £5,000-10,000 per year.

support people with or at greater risk of developing long-term health conditions, or;

Monitoring and Evaluation
At an appropriate time after the grant has been paid, we will ask you to submit an end of grant monitoring report form. They may also ask your group for an interim monitoring report if your project lasts longer than a year. These simple forms ask for details of how the grant has been spent and what has been achieved. In addition, City Funds has developed a bespoke impact monitoring tool that will give the people who benefit from your project information about their own wellbeing and help us to understand how your project has helped them. A member of staff may also contact you to arrange a visit to your project.
