Grant News
Charities and community groups in Cambridgeshire (excluding Peterborough) can apply for grants of £5,000 to £25,000 through Cambridgeshire County Council’s Health for All Inclusion Health Seed Funding programme.
The programme supports community-led projects that improve the health and wellbeing of disadvantaged groups experiencing the greatest health inequalities, particularly those facing multiple health risks or barriers to healthcare.
Priority groups include:
- People experiencing homelessness
- Migrants in vulnerable circumstances
- Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities
- Sex workers
- People in contact with the justice system
- People experiencing problems around drug and/or alcohol use
- People subject to modern slavery
- People who have experienced Domestic Abuse
- Children looked after (CLA) and/or care leavers (CL)
Funding can support new, early-stage or existing projects that have a public health benefit for inclusion health groups. Projects do not need to be a traditional ‘health service’. They can include:
- Promoting early intervention and prevention, helping to stop health problems from worsening and reducing future demand on acute services.
- Helping people with challenges relating to service navigation
- Providing support or connection in the community
- Improving confidence, skills or wellbeing
- Addressing factors that affect health like housing, debt, or isolation
- Offering outreach to people who are not currently supported
The aim is to help everyone to be as healthy as possible, while also reducing differences in health between communities.
Applications are particularly welcomed from smaller organisations, groups that may not usually apply for council funding, and projects led by, or co-designed with, local communities.
Projects must begin within three months of receiving funding and finish before 31 March 2028.
Applications close at 5pm on 14 August 2026.
