In partnership with the UCL Institute of Health Equity (IHE), Legal & General has launched a Health Equity Fund to support community-based initiatives across the UK.
Grants of up to £75,000 are available to registered charities, social enterprises, NHS Trusts or primary care organisations, university or academic organisations and community groups, for place-based projects which address the social determinants of health.
Example projects that the Fund may support:
Projects could range from funding for projects that enable children living in areas of deprivation to live healthier lives to community programmes which address the social determinants behind pressures on A&E services, ways to improve housing to support better health of the occupiers, or partnerships raising awareness of the contribution the natural environment makes to health and wellbeing.
