Community Asset Development Funding – Social Prescribers

Following the successful allocation of Community Asset Development Funding across the four Neighbourhood Team accelerator Sites (Gainsborough, Lincoln South, Grantham & Boston) we are pleased to announce the next round of funding will be opening shortly across 9 Primary Care Network (PCN) areas.

For further information on PCNs, please see: Primary Care Networks: Lincolnshire Primary Care Network Alliance (lpcna.nhs.uk)

The funding aims to support people to live independently in their own homes and communities with access to a range of activities and services that promotes outcomes which support recovery and good mental health; and generally, contributes to improved health, wellbeing, independence, and choice for people with a mental illness including serious mental illness. This involves working alongside people with lived experience & partner
agencies to ensure equitable access to community support services across the County and developing Community Assets to provide a wide range of services and activities for Social Prescribers to “tap into”.

The application period will open on Monday 17th May for 5 weeks. We are holding information sessions where we will share information on the projects who have successfully received funding as well as all the information groups & organsiations will need to make a successful application.
