Loneliness and Social Isolation Grant 2021
Loneliness and social isolation can be experienced by anyone of any age and any background. Increasingly we understand the impact this can have on our physical and mental well-being, and therefore the importance of the relationships we have with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours in giving us our sense of belonging and well-being.
In February 2020, the Welsh Government published its first strategy for tackling loneliness and social isolation and building stronger social connections
Loneliness and social isolation (connected communities) | GOV.WALES.
The strategy committed the Welsh Government to establishing a three-year Loneliness and Isolation Fund to help support its implementation. As part of the delivery of this work in year one, FLVC are administering a grant, which is available to organisations who offer their provision to Flintshire residents. It is required that the funding is used to meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Increasing opportunities for people to connect
- A community infrastructure that supports connected communities
- Cohesive and supportive communities
- Building awareness and promoting positive attitudes
- Mental health
Grants up to the value of £3000 will be accepted and activity can be funded for delivery up to 31 March 2022. It is anticipated that activity will begin as soon as award of the grant is made, if you would like a deferred start date, please contact us ahead of submission.
