The Ideas Fund supports community action in Oldham
A unique opportunity for community groups to explore mental wellbeing with the people around them in partnership with health researchers.
The Ideas Fund is a new grants programme that will enable the UK public to think about, develop and test ideas to help improve mental wellbeing in the area where they live. Vocal is working in partnership with the British Science Association (BSA) to help researchers and community groups to create partnerships and develop ideas for the Fund.
Whether you have an idea already in mind or need some help exploring opportunities, Vocal can help you to connect with health researchers and develop your idea for the Fund.
