Heading 1

The programme is designed to support smaller projects with measurable impact that are developing new or innovative ways of working – or taking forward ideas or concepts to implementation. Projects for existing work, can be considered, if they positively develop the activity further. Applicants should:

Be charitable and local to the area they wish to work, and have a good understanding of the community. We cannot fund statutory health organisations.
Have identified a clear health and wellbeing issue in a specific local community.
Be able to involve local people in understanding the problem and developing solutions.
Have evidence of a clear need.
Have a strong track record of implementing solutions and delivering projects.
Be able to collaborate effectively with partners, referral agencies and stakeholders.
Have robust outcome monitoring and reporting methods.
Have a well costed and reasoned budget.
All projects must also meet Cheshire Community Foundation’s grant-making principles (acknowledging that this programme is specifically for projects delivered in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough).
