<strong>VCSE</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and <strong>Wellbeing</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong><br />
<br />
Build evidence of sustainable, scalable solutions to mitigate and prevent inequalities<br />
impacting on health and wellbeing of communities.<br />
The programme will seek to achieve its objectives through two co-dependent funded<br />
mechanisms:<br />
<br />
<br />
A national partnership arrangement: the <strong>VCSE</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and <strong>Wellbeing</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong>;<br />
Funding for bespoke projects: the <strong>VCSE</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and <strong>Wellbeing</strong> Fund<br />
This application <strong>pack</strong> provides more <strong>information</strong> about the <strong>Health</strong> and <strong>Wellbeing</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong> (the<br />
<strong>Alliance</strong>) and how organisations can apply to be part of it.<br />
The <strong>VCSE</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and <strong>Wellbeing</strong> Fund will replace the existing IESD and HSCVF schemes. The<br />
aim of this component of the programme will be to promote equalities and reduce health<br />
inequalities by building the evidence base about good practice, sharing lessons and widening<br />
adoption of interventions with a proven track record. The Fund will focus on one specific theme<br />
each year in order to improve our ability to measure the impact of the investment. We expect<br />
that we will be in a position to provide more detail about this and launch the application process<br />
early in the new financial year. Organisations who become members of the <strong>Alliance</strong> will not be<br />
exempt from applying to do projects under the new <strong>Health</strong> and <strong>Wellbeing</strong> Fund.<br />
