Third sector grant funding
91¸£ÀûÉç Integration Joint Board Grant Programme 2019/ 22
A review of the former Health and Social Care and 91¸£ÀûÉç Community Health Partnership grant programmes has been carried out. The programmes have now been combined into a single grant programme and incorporate funding associated with the health improvement fund (HIF) and advice.
The priorities of the new programme align to the draft Strategic Plan 2019-22 and focus on tackling inequalities and prevention and early intervention.
The grant allocations for 2019-2022 were approved by the 91¸£ÀûÉç Integration Joint Board at its meeting on 14 December 2018.
In addition, the Board agreed the recommendations outlined below.

- and that successful grant applicants be requested to prioritise working with service users affected by grant cessation;
- to use the final integrated impact assessment to inform the work above;
- instruct the IJB Chief Officer to provide progress reports on the points above.
