NEWS: NHS Grampian Endowment Fund Community Grants

MWH Admin TeamCampaign, News

Following the tremendous success of the NHS Grampian Endowment Fund’s 2020 Grant Programme, a new Grants Programme  for 2021 has been announced to encourage wellbeing in our communities.

The Community Grants aim to support Grampian’s community organisations and local charities to develop projects which improve access to health provision, enable early intervention and help people to keep well and look after their own health.

Applications which are community based and initiatives which seek to address health inequalities will be particularly welcome.  The grants may also support applications which address the health and wellbeing of NHS and Health and Social Care staff as well as research which focuses on health inequalities, self- management, prevention and early intervention.

“This past 20 months has been extraordinary in so many ways. Understandably, as a key health sector charity in Grampian we have concentrated our efforts on  supporting staff, patients and local communities as they have dealt with the physical and mental health effects of the COVID pandemic.

Last year, with the help of an independent advisory panel, we were able to allocate funding of £320,000 to 48 community projects. We were pleased to fund diverse activities providing support to families with young children, people experiencing mental health issues, young people, people affected by cancer, carers and people with disabilities. Feedback on the impact of last year’s grant programme has been so positive, that we are keen to do it again in 2021. Our new Community Wellbeing grants programme will specifically support projects that focus on innovative health and wellbeing projects in our local communities.” Luan Grugeon, Chair of NHS Grampian Endowment Fund
