Healthier Bradford Community Chest
NHS Bradford City and Bradford Districts Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are member led organisation made up of 27 GP practices in City and 41 GP practices in Districts. In 2013, the CCGs supported the development of patient and community networks, bringing together patient groups from each practice. The aims of the networks are to reach out to our communities, learn from and involve them in the work of the CCG and to share good practice. Bradford is a vibrant City with a strong Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) and we want to ensure we utilise our community assets to the best advantages for local people to improve their health.
The CCGs have allocated a small pot of money, £70,000 in total, andis encouragingpractices, working in partnership with the VCS, the opportunity to bid for up to £1,500funding to get their ideas off the ground and to help make the city a healthier place.
The CCGs are keen to promote partnership working with other practices and voluntary and community groups and ensure we are all working to achieve the CCG strategic priorities of Bradford beating diabetes, Bradford healthy hearts or Bradford breathing better, mental and maternal health and young people. The practice and the community organisations must be clearly defined.
The grant funding will be for project ideas that aim to meet the above and:
Improve the health of their community;
Get people involved in their practice;
Improve ways to help people look after their own health/self-care.
The funding will be allocated in three phases. The decision making panel will consist of CCG management staff and Governing body lay members. The evaluation criterion the panel will use is attached. The application process is designed to be simple and there will be no interviews.
The deadlines are as follows:
11th December 2015
22nd March 2016
13th September 2016
