CHARITABLE and voluntary organisations in Redditch and Bromsgrove can apply for grants of up to £13,000 to tackle health inequalities, promote independence, self-care or engage with hard to reach communities.
The three Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Groups (NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove, NHS South Worcestershire and NHS Wyre Forest CCGs) have set up the scheme to support new projects or develop existing services.
Simon Trickett, chief officer for NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove and Wyre Forest CCGs, said: "Voluntary and community sector organisations contribute an enormous amount of wealth and expertise to support the health and wellbeing of the people in Worcestershire.
"We are providing funds through this grant process to support organisations continue and develop their important work. The main aim is to offer the best quality of care for people for the people of Worcestershire, to help them look after their health and wellbeing."
The process is now open to any voluntary or charity organisation that wishes to apply and will remain open until Sunday, November 27.
Following this date, a panel will get together to look t the applications and agree the grants.
Organisations that have been selected will be contacted in early 2017, with a view to work starting in April 2017.
