Charities and community groups across Grampian are being invited to apply for funding from NHS Grampian Charity, as it opens the latest round of its Community Grants Programme.
The programme provides grants of up to £10,000 to local charities and community organisations to help them develop projects which improve access to health provision, enhance healthcare experiences, and empower individuals to better manage their own health.
Lisa Duthie, charity lead at NHS Grampian Charity, says: “We are excited to announce the latest round of our Community Grants Programme to fund health and wellbeing projects in communities across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.
“We are proud to have supported over 100 projects to date, and we look forward to partnering with more local charities and community organisations to transform health and wellbeing in communities across Grampian.
“We are incredibly grateful to our donors whose generous support helps make these projects happen.”
The Community Grants Programme was launched in 2020 and has now awarded over £900,000 to projects across the region including activities to support physical and mental health like exercise and cooking classes, and peer-support initiatives for people at different stages of their lives.
NHS Grampian Charity is the official charity of NHS Grampian. It is responsible for managing the generous donations made by supporters to ensure that they are used to provide benefits for staff and patients, to enhance services, and to provide support in communities across Grampian.
