The North London Forensic Collaborative (NLFC) has launched a new small grant programme for Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) groups based in North London.
The NLFC is the largest specialist forensic mental health provider collaborative in England that commissions and delivers adult secure inpatient and community services for the population of North London. The collaborative is formed of five NHS Trusts and two Independent Sector Providers. Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust (BEH) is the Lead Provider.
A key priority for the NLFC is to address inequalities in access, experience, and outcomes for the people who use forensic services. NLFC recognises the incredible contribution that small voluntary, community and faith groups already make in response to health inequalities across the three Integrated Care Systems (ICS) in North East London (NEL), North West London (NWL) and North Central London (NCL).
The NLFC is seeking to invest in voluntary sector, faith, and grassroot organisations, to build relationships and work together to tackle inequalities and improve quality outcomes for forensic service users.
Grant Amount:
The grant amount ranges between £500 - £4,999.
Application Time Frame:
Applications for the small grant programme opened on the 31st July 2023 and will be offered on a rolling basis until July 2024, or until all funds are spent. All funding grants must be spent within the 12 months of being awarded.
