People’s Health Trust – Apply for funding
Posted on: January 12, 2023
Local groups and organisations with great ideas to make their communities even better places to live are invited to apply for funding to turn their ideas into reality.
Active Communities is a funding programme for community groups and not-for-profit organisations, with an income of less than £350,000 a year or an average of £350,000 over two years.
We are currently open in Health Lottery East in parts of:
- Cambridgeshire: Fenland, Huntingdonshire
- Essex: Braintree, Castle Point, Chelmsford, Colchester, Basildon, Epping Forest, Harlow, Tendring
- Norfolk: Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Kings Lynn, North Norfolk and West Norfolk
- Suffolk: Babergh, Ipswich.
Funding applications will close on Wednesday 1 February at 1pm.
Active Communities is for projects seeking investment of between £5,000 and £40,000 for projects lasting up to two years.
We’re looking for small and local projects, genuinely designed and run by local people. By small, we mean just a small group of people on an estate, in a few streets or villages.
We’re also looking for great ideas from communities of interest. By this we mean a group of people who have things in common and wish to come together to address something that is important to them. These ideas could be based in one neighbourhood, or cover a wider area but they must live close enough to each other to meet up regularly.
We are particularly interested to hear how your project will respond to the cost of living crisis and rising mental health needs. The Trust may prioritise projects that include cost of living considerations and/or support mental health.
The programme is open in different areas at different times of the year. Please note that to make sure our funds are distributed equitably, sometimes we will restrict the neighbourhoods that are eligible to apply.
We run a two stage application process that begins with an online form. There’s step by step guidance to help you along the way but if you need any support, please call us on 020 4548 0939 or email us. Find out more
