Women’s Health Hub Small Grants Fund    

Links CVS has been successful in bidding for administration of the Women's Health Hub Small Grants Fund in Derbyshire (excluding Derby city) on behalf of NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Groups operating or have coverage in Derby city should contact Community Action Derby in relation to this grant fund.

The objective of the Women's Health Hub Small Grants Fund is to enable local voluntary and community groups and organisations to facilitate community engagement and improving women's health services across Derby and Derbyshire. The Grant will support local voluntary and community sector groups in facilitating vital conversations about women’s health needs.

Grant awards between £200 and £1500 per organisation can be used for a defined ‘one off’ project.

Monitoring report from the grant recipients is due by: 15th January 2025.

All the grant recipient organisations are expected to attend the Sharing and Learning Event on 12th February 2025 in Chesterfield.

Groups will need to provide evidence of how the grant has been spent.

If you are interested, please find the guidelines and fill in the application form and return it to Links CVS at shruti.vispute@linkscvs.org.uk by the closing date, Friday, 11th October 2024, 12 noon.

 

Our regular Feeling Connected Social events are a great way for people who care about community to come together in a relaxed and informal setting.
 
If you're thinking about or are already making a difference in your community or just want to find out what's going on, join us and meet others who are passionate about reducing loneliness and isolation.
 
Whether you're new to us or have been part of the Feeling Connected Family for a while, everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a cuppa and a light bite to eat.
 
Come along to support, inspire and get to know each other!
 
Open to everyone - whether you’re an individual, a group of friends/residents or part of a community group/ organisation
 
This is a FREE event – please BOOK so we can plan for numbers. 
 
“It’s amazing at how much you pick up at these events without realising it. I got so many ideas to make our community event better, just by chatting to other people"
 
"It’s nice to meet new people at the Feeling Connected Social events.  We get to find out what else is going on, which is really useful, both for ourselves and members of our group."
