The Health Foundation launches new fund

The Healthier Lives programme will support three to four partnerships across the UK with funding of between £300,000 and £500,000 for up to three years.
Partnerships will be led by a local authority or combined authority (lead partner) and should also include:
• public health bodies and leaders (where this responsibility sits outside of the local authority)
• an academic partner (most likely a university, but this does not have to be the case)
• a specialist partner that can provide additional topic or community engagement expertise (this could be a national representative body, a voluntary and community sector organisation or a business).
Funding can be used to cover costs such as staffing costs, expenses and small payments for public and user engagement, partnership meeting costs, workshops, learning events and team development.
On Tuesday 24 November the Health Foundation will be sharing a pre-recorded webinar which will introduce the programme, detail what the Foundation is looking for in applications, provide advice on how to apply and answer pre-submitted questions. To sign up for updates on the Economies for Healthier Lives programme and to submit a question for the webinar, please click here. Questions for the webinar must be submitted by 5pm on Tuesday 17 November 2020.
Expressions of interest must be submitted by 12pm on the 15th January 2021.
