Cancer Community Partnership Fund
This Fund is supported by the Suffolk & North East Essex Integrated Care Board (SNEE ICB) and aims to increase early-stage cancer diagnosis and enhance the wellbeing of individuals across the region.
Aim of the Fund
The purpose of the fund is to support voluntary and community groups delivering projects that will increase the proportion of cancers diagnosed at early stages (Stage 1 & 2). We are looking for applications that will:
- Increase uptake of National Screening Programmes.
- Improve awareness of cancer signs and symptoms.
- Reduce health inequalities and improve access for Inclusion Health groups.
- Promote personalised care.
Who Can Apply?
The fund is open to voluntary groups, community organisations, and social enterprises within the SNEE, North East Essex area (Colchester and Tendring). We encourage applications from projects that demonstrate partnership working and have a clear exit strategy. Successful applicants will need to complete an Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA).
Funding Details
- Grant Amounts: Grants ranging from £2,500 to £20,000 per year are available, with the potential for funding over two years, plus large grants will be considered.
- Eligibility: Voluntary and community organisations, registered charities, social enterprises (CICs Limited by Guarantee), and not-for-profit organisations can apply. Schools, Parish Councils, or statutory organisations are not eligible.
- Personal Health Budgets: A portion of the funding is available for organisations to provide one-off Personal Health Budgets to support individuals facing health inequalities.
Application Process
Applications for the first panel are open until 31 August 2024, with the first panel meeting on 24 September. Further panels will be held every two months until the fund is fully allocated. We aim to provide decisions within two weeks of each panel meeting.
