Coventry City Council Grants

Coventry Healthy Communities Grant

Coventry City Council

The Healthy Communities Grant from Coventry City Council helps charities, community groups and social enterprises in Coventry run local projects that improve adults' health and wellbeing. The focus is on prevention and cardiovascular health, and on testing new ideas in partnership with health and social care professionals. Most grants range from £200 to £5,000. Higher awards may be considered in exceptional circumstances. You can also ask for a microgrant to trial an idea, then reapply later to grow it. Suitable activities include healthy walking groups, exercise or dance sessions, swimming, healthy cooking workshops, blood pressure checks, diabetes support, and friendship groups for people living with Parkinson's, COPD, cancer or stroke. Partnership is central. Your project must link into the wider health and care system, for example by working with GP practices, social prescribers, family hubs or NHS teams. You must speak to the Public Health team about your idea before you apply. Funded groups also add their activities to the Coventry Information Directory and promote the HOPE app, which helps residents manage their health digitally. You must spend the grant within 12 months, and your project must start within three months of receiving the money. The council will not pay for costs you have already incurred. Projects for young people are not eligible. The council aims to assess each application within about four weeks of receiving it.
