What is the Little Pot of Health Wellbeing Fund?

The Little Pot of Health Wellbeing Fund is a small grants pot of up to £1,000 for third sector ‘small’ organisations in Salford (annual income below £100,000). Groups can apply to deliver activities that help improve the wellbeing of Salford residents.

What are the priorities for the Little Pot of Health Wellbeing Fund?

  1. Demonstrate Wellbeing benefits - we are using a broad definition of wellbeing that includes physical, social and emotional dimensions:

‘A positive physical, social and mental state; it is not just the absence of pain, discomfort and incapacity. It requires that basic needs are met, that individuals have a sense of purpose, and that they feel able to achieve important personal goals and participate in society. It is enhanced by conditions that include supportive personal relationships, strong and inclusive communities, good health, financial and personal security, rewarding employment, and a healthy and attractive environment. ‘

  1. Demonstrate Social Value (i.e. the social, economic and environmental difference your funded project will maketo Salford residents)
