Health & Wellbeing Grants

We are interested in healthcare projects that support and inform population health and wellbeing in Cambridgeshire, usually in the range of £10,000 up to a maximum of £120,000, and over a period of no more than two years. Applications must be received by 5pm on 15th November in each annual round.

The Trustees have decided for the first time to ringfence a significant proportion of our Health and Wellbeing fund for this application year and next to the theme of ‘Mental Health in Children and Young People’.  Please see the Health and Wellbeing application guidelines for more detail.

There is also a rolling small grants programme.  For the financial year 2024/25 we will only consider applications for grants of £5,000, which can be for core costs. NOTE: the small grants programme is not included in the ‘Mental Health in Children and Young People’ theme, although we will still consider small applications that deal with this issue.

Grants are distributed at the Trust’s discretion to selected charities, institutions and causes. The reasoning behind the Trust’s decisions will not be discussed with applicants.

First read the health and wellbeing application guidelines for more about our funding criteria.

NB Owing to unprecedented demand for our funding, and in the interests of distributing grants fairly, we have introduced new criteria for repeat applications:

• previous or current grant-holders must wait two full years from the end of their grant before submitting another application;
• unsuccessful applicants must wait two years from the submission date of their previous application.
