Health and Wellbeing Fund Applications Open

Applications for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to apply for the Health and Wellbeing Fund on social prescribing are open until midday Tuesday 21 November 2017. The fund is part of the Health and Wellbeing Programme, which The Association is a member of as leads of the Mental Health Consortia. Each round focuses on a specific theme. The theme for this round is social prescribing. Department of Health and Public Health England are inviting applications to set up a new social prescribing scheme or to support the expansion of an existing scheme. Through this programme, the Department of Health, NHS England and Public Health England are working with voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to promote equality, address health inequalities and support the wellbeing of people, families and communities.
