The National Academy for Social Prescribing and Arts Council England has launched a new £1.4 million Thriving Communities Fund to develop local social prescribing activities across the country. The fund will support place-based partnerships, led by voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations to expand and improve the range and quality of social prescribing activities available to local communities. These will have a particular focus on support for people facing health inequalities, and those who are experiencing the greatest impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fund will be open between the 23 November 2020 and 8 January 2021. For more information you can sign up to a webinar on the 23rd November. Copy this link to access the webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Iv20LVqfQDqXCG-M1_zcXg
Community leaders are also invited to sign up to a free regional support initiative for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups by the 11 December.
