Local Funding

Any grant application that delivers improved wellbeing and health outcomes for the local population will be considered. In particular, we want to encourage activity which achieves at least one of the following three objectives:

Objective one

Builds community resilience, where this means 'one which is able to develop and engage community resources to respond to, endure and recover from adverse situations and long term challenges. Community resilience includes activities such as:

• increased community-led and managed activities
• helping people to help themselves and support each other
• reduced reliance on mainstream services and outside help
• engaging local people through the existing interests of community groups and their social networks
• building trust amongst residents
• helping people to forge new social links as well as reinforcing existing connections

Objective two

Meets local wellbeing and health needs. Further details can be found at the Partners in Salford community priorities pages.

• Need for the project shown in the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
• Need for the project shown in the local neighbourhood profiles
• Need for the project shown in the local community priorities

Objective three

Supports the priority outcomes of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, where there is a particular concern in an area. Priority outcomes include:

• increased breastfeeding rates
• reduced childhood obesity (including increased physical activity)
• reduced teenage conception
• reduced violence
• reduced harm due to alcohol
• increased community resilience (see objective one above)
• increased uptake of NHS health checks
• increased support for people to manage a long term condition
• increased support for carers

The Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy can be found at Partners in Salford website. Examples of grant applications which may be considered include those where the proposed activity has a beneficial effect on:

• promoting healthy lifestyles
• improving the local environment
• reducing crime and fear of crime
• encouraging learning, leisure and creativity
• investing in children and young people
• promoting inclusion and culture
• creating prosperity for local people, community groups and businesses
