Worcestershire County Council Public Health Community Grant Programme

The Public Health Community Grant Programme is all about backing brilliant local ideas that help people live happier, healthier lives. The grants are there to support community groups and small organisations who are making a difference, because when communities lead the way, everyone benefits.

If your group or organisation is working to improve wellbeing, build connections, or create safer spaces, then the council may be able to offer one-off grants of up to £3,000, provided it is sustainable, meaning the impact will last beyond the funding. To view the information, please visit:
