New funding available for Social Prescribing Projects – applications open

News - 22 July 2025

The team at VONNE are delighted to announce the launch of a new round of investments into the VCSE sector, through their 2025/26 Healthy Communities & Social Prescribing Grants Scheme.

Funded as part of the ICB’s Healthier and Fairer programme, the scheme will fund up to 8 new projects, with grants of £15,000 to £30,000 available to VCSE organisations.

This new grants scheme aims to strengthen and improve social prescribing and improve outcomes for people living and working across the North East and North Cumbria.

Projects must be delivered by the end of March 2026, and have strategic significance and potential for application across the region. If you are interested in delivering a project in support of any of these priority areas, and are a VCSE organisation based in the North East and North Cumbria region, please do consider applying for the funding.

Full details are available in this HC&SP Grants Scheme Outline.

Applications should be made using this Expression of Interest Form.

EOI forms must be emailed to healthandwellbeing@vonne.org.uk by 12 noon on Monday 11th August 2025.

Applications will be assessed by a panel and decisions notified by Thursday 11th September 2025.
