The Locality Partnership Fund totals £5.74m, with funding aimed at community organisation projects to address health inequalities experienced by communities of place within Birmingham’s localities.
The Locality Partnership Fund is being led by 5 VCFSE Locality Leads tasked with the development of an investment approach to the Fairer Futures Fund Locality Partnership Fund. The VCFSE lead will be responsible for the establishment of the partnership and the production of a co-produced ‘business plan’.
Locality Partnership Fund is distributed in partnership with Birmingham Voluntary Services Council (BVSC). For additional advice and guidance about making an application to this fund, please contact healthandsocialcare@bvsc.org – with ‘FFF/Bham’ in your email subject title.
Available Funding
Funding is aimed at large-scale interventions (guideline value of c£200-£500k) so it is anticipated that funded projects would have a reach that is wider than one specific constituency, ward, or neighbourhood.
It has an explicit partnership focus; partnerships should be made between the statutory and voluntary sectors to provide integrated, effective, and efficient care. Partnerships should increase co-production with communities to better understand their challenges and priorities and how to tackle these effectively.
VCFSE Locality Lead
It is anticipated the locality VCFSE lead will be responsible for the support and delivery of a VCFSE Locality Partnerships for the purposes of the delivery of the Fairer Futures Fund. The ongoing resourcing of the administration of this will be contained within the Locality Business Plan and is subject to approval from the Locality Delivery Partnership and the Fairer Futures Programme Board.
The recruitment of the 5 VCFSE Locality Leads is now closed.
