Voluntary and community organisations in Westminster work daily with the people the Council most wants to reach, support and empower to improve their health. In 2023/24, a £1m investment is proposed to enable selected voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations to initiate health-promoting activities with target communities and codesign a further three-year £4m funding programme to improve resident health and wellbeing and address health inequalities.
Public Health will administer the grants, with support from the Communities directorate initially with future administration of the fund being part of the codesign process.
