Got a project that would benefit from a helping hand?
This local network devolved budget of £21131 is almost all completely distributed for this financial year. Last year OLIHWN funded projects throughout the Oban Lorn and Inner Isles area which helped young and old, from support services to young people ,homeless, training to build community capacity, outdoor activities and much much more.
The funding is open to projects which have a focus on wellness instead of illness to improve the health of the population. Priority will be given to initiatives that can demonstrate reducing health inequalities, breaking down barriers to participation and able to demonstrate how the planned project supports delivery of our four Health Improvement Plan Priorities :
- Theme 1 – Getting the best start in life
- Theme 2 – Working to ensure fairness
- Theme 3 – Connecting people with support in their community
- Theme 4 – Focusing on Wellness not illness
Do you have a small project that “fits the bill” which could assist to meet the Joint Health Improvement Plan Priorities?
Contact your local co ordinator Eleanor MacKinnon olihwn@gmail.com for further guidance
