Celebrating participation in healthcare community grants – apply now!

Have you completed a community project that you are proud of and want to showcase?

Did this work include patient, service user or carer engagement with diverse communities and seldom heard groups?

Did your project improve healthcare services, or reduce health inequalities?

NHS England is awarding a number of small grants of up to £2,000 to enable charities to raise their profile so that others can learn from their good practice.  For example, you may want to produce an information film or a series of leaflets, or record a podcast.

In order to win a grant, you must show how your work links to NHS England’s priorities defined in the Next Steps on the Five YearForward View

For example, you may have supported women to access GP services, or perhaps your work contributes to wider improvements in mental health.  You will also need to set out how you intend to showcase your work.

The closing date for applications is midnight on 31st October, and successful applicants will be notified on 27th November.
