Overview

They currently only accept applications from small, registered charities and community interest companies with annual incomes of less than £1 million.

Projects must work solely with adults and have a main focus on one or more of the following areas: healthy eating, physical activity, smoking or alcohol.

The funding is for new projects that work with communities to prevent heart disease, particularly for vulnerable and isolated groups of individuals (adults) who are at an increased risk of developing heart problems in the future. Projects that are likely to have a big impact and have considered novel ways to encourage people to look after their hearts and promote positive lifestyle changes are also sought.

Activities must have a primary focus on one or more of the following four risk factors for heart disease:

Nutrition and Healthy Eating.
Physical Activity.
Smoking.
Alcohol.

The funding can support salaries, overhead expenses/on costs and equipment that is necessary for the successful delivery of the project which should be for at least three months but no more than 12 months.

The funding rotates around the UK at different times of the year.

This is a competitive grant scheme as there is a funding pot of £15,000 for each region.
