From 26 June 2025 to 31 July 2026, 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.
Successful applicants will be expected to deliver their activities between September 2026 and the end of May 2027 (nine month delivery period).
What are the health protection topics?
A limited amount of funding is available for community groups to deliver projects that increase awareness of the following public health topics:
- 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)
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.
You may choose one or multiple topics if this is achievable and suitable for the group you support. If you would like to discuss this or any other ideas with the team, please contact us at HPTeam@coventry.gov.uk.
We are now accepting applications until 31 July 2026.
