What will we fund
- Equipment, repairs, refurbishment or alterations to buildings, which promote equality, or improve services or Health and Safety
- Short term training courses (under one year), which support the health and social care outcomes listed in section one. Training could be aimed at empowering service users or carers, by developing their skills, knowledge and capabilities, or raising the skill levels of staff or volunteers
- Short term pilot projects (under one year) or research, aimed at testing out innovative approaches or new ideas for delivering health and social care outcomes, or identifying unmet needs
- Targeted promotional work, for example, to improve equality of access for under represented groups, or to recruit volunteers from under represented groups

- A grant cannot be allocated from this scheme to replace items that have been stolen, therefore organisations need to be adequately insured.
