A grant scheme is open for applications with £5,000 – £15,000 available for community health development initiatives and projects across the Bradford district.
The Community Health Development (CHD) Grants are funded by the Living Well Service, Public Health Bradford Council and aim to award up to 10 small groups / organisations who are passionate about reducing health inequalities, promoting health and wellbeing and representing the voice of defined community of interest groups across the Bradford District.
Communities of interest groups to be supported (including but not limited to) are:
- Asylum seekers and refugees
- South Asian community, men & women over 50 years
- Black community, such as those who identify themselves as African
- Black community, such as those who identify themselves as Caribbean, Dominican etc.
- Eastern European communities, such as those from Roma
- Gypsy & Traveller community
- LGBTQ+ community
- Communities experiencing poverty and/or unemployment
- Carers
- Care experienced young adults / care leavers
We would like to ensure that the grant programme addresses wider determinants of health with a key focus on the communities of interest. The golden thread across the grant delivery will be to reach out to marginalised groups and less heard voices.
Applicants are welcome to partner with other organisations working with their specific community of interest to create a joint bid.
Closing date for applications: Monday 5th June 2023, 12 noon
See CHD Grants – Guidance Notes and CHD Grants Application form, or downloaded from the CNET website.
