Objectives of Fund

The programme seeks to meet the following aims:

Reducing health inequalities

Health inequalities are unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population, and between different groups within society. An example could be a non-English speaking person unable to access health information, due to it not being provided in their language or someone who is unable to access an activity due to location or other avoidable barriers.

Improving self-management of health

Helping people to be in control of their health and enabling them to support their own health needs.

Supporting volunteering opportunities

Providing volunteer opportunities with the appropriate guidance and training, that help to improve the health and wellbeing of volunteers and the people they support.
