£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 eventsor 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 healthpriorities 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 emergingissues.
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 29th 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
