From 4 June 2025 to 31 August 2025, community groups and organisations based in Coventry will be able to apply for a small grant to help raise awareness on key health protection messages.
The purpose of this grant is to help local community and voluntary groups to raise awareness on the specific health protection topics using methods that are likely to engage with the groups they work with.
This scheme offers small sum grants which can be used towards costs incurred from the project. For example, covering the costs of refreshments, printing etc.
Applicants must detail how they plan to spend the funding and how the community will benefit from this spend in relation to the subjects. The Health Protection team will consider each application on a case-by-case basis and contact the applicant with 14 days of applying regarding the status of their application.
What are the health protection topics?
A limited sum of funding is available to deliver projects to raise awareness on the following Public Health subjects*:
- Vaccination (preconception and in pregnancy/ Pre-school and childhood/ Older Adults/ high risk groups)
- Sexual Health including safer sex
- HIV including promoting Undetectable equals untransmissible (U=U)
- Tuberculosis (Active TB/ Latent TB)
* across the topics, we will prioritise initiatives that focus on supporting underrepresented groups.
We want to give people the opportunity to identify which messages they think would benefit their community and come up with activities they think will get people to engage in the subject.
Please note, the application window may close earlier than 31 August 2025, depending on the availability of funding.
Please note that applications are now closed, as all available funding has now been fully allocated.
