About the Fund
The Birmingham City-wide Partnership Fund totals £5.74 million and is designed to support community-led projects addressing health inequalities affecting communities of identity and experience across the city.
The fund focuses on large-scale interventions with a city-wide reach, supporting projects that extend beyond a single constituency, ward or neighbourhood. It acts as a catalyst for collaboration between statutory and voluntary sector organisations, enabling partners to work together to deliver integrated, effective and efficient care.
A central feature of the fund is its explicit emphasis on partnership working. Funded projects bring together statutory and voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations, strengthening co-production with communities to better understand lived experience, identify priorities and develop more effective responses to health inequalities.
Projects address one or more of the Fairer Futures Fund priority areas:
-
Children and young people aged 5+
-
Mental health and wellbeing
-
Healthy ageing, including reducing emergency hospital admissions due to falls in adults aged over 65
-
