Working with people living in the poorest neighbourhoods, our new programme aims to close the gap between those communities which experience the worst health in England, Scotland and Wales and the majority of the population.

We’re looking to support projects that encourage community activism. Projects designed by local people that address issues relevant to them and benefit and improve their local community.

Building on the success of our Healthy Communities Small Grants Programme, we want to support local people to use their skills and knowledge to make their communities better places in which to grow up, to live, to work and to age.
