Healthy Leeds Partnerships invest £170,000 in community grants programme

20th March 2009

£170,000 for Health Projects in Leeds

The Healthy Leeds Partnership is a partnership between the Leeds Primary Care Trust

(Leeds PCT) and Leeds City Council (LCC). As part of our work to address health

inequalities in the city, we have a community grants programme valued at approximately

£170,000 for 2009/10.

There are 3 separate grants programmes:

· Small Grants: from £250 to £500 for groups looking to run one-off or short-term events

or activities, to pilot a small project or to buy relevant equipment. Priority will be given

to smaller community-based groups with a turnover of under £30,000 a year.

· Healthy Living Grants: of up to £4,000 for groups tackling some of the city’s key health

priorities which are: reducing poverty; promoting positive emotional health and

wellbeing; and putting prevention first.

· Research projects: up to £15,000 for research projects addressing new and emerging

issues.

 

Application Details

There is a rolling programme for the Small Grants programme and we aim to respond within

6 weeks of receiving a completed application. There are two rounds for the Healthy Living

programme – the next deadline is Monday 29
th June for a panel meeting in mid July.

We will only fund new projects or activity i.e. the activity cannot have started yet. All projects

must either benefit people living in the 10% most deprived wards in the country or must

benefit a group classified as vulnerable.

Further information is available on each of the three grants programmes including detailed

guidance notes and application forms. Please visit:
