The Stay Connected Community Grant
Find out more about Worcestershire County Council’s Public Health Team Stay Connected Community Grant.
Tackling loneliness and social isolation has been a priority in Worcestershire for several years and is one of ambitions of the Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2022-2032), which focuses on what we all need to be mentally healthy.
In line with this ambition, a new action plan has been created by the Tackling Loneliness and Isolation Partnership to outline what we need to focus on to reduce feelings of loneliness and improve social connections among people who live and work in Worcestershire.
To support this action plan, Public Health in Worcestershire, with the support and joint funding of the West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner, has developed the Stay Connected Community Grant which allows community-based organisations to apply for one-off grants of between £250 to £2500 to support projects in the community which aim to tackle loneliness, isolation or any combination of the two.
