Young Harrow Foundation and Voluntary Action Harrow have organised a workshop which is being run on behalf of Imperial Health Charity about the Compassionate Communities Funding and how Harrow voluntary sector organisations and residents can be involved in developing the grant initiative.

Compassionate Communities is a new Imperial Health Charity (IHC) funded grant initiative that seeks to help North-West London (NWL) communities who are adversely affected by COVID-19. It will do this by supporting organisations that have strong relationships with local people and are working closely with partners across the area.

Compassionate Communities will fund community-designed and led projects to tackle challenges such as obesity and food poverty with the aim of improving the health and wellbeing of the people that you work with.  IHC also want to develop a panel that represents people across NWL and will be recruiting representatives shortly.  The panel will shape the criteria and evaluate grant applications, then provide a link into communities for insight and advice.

We would like to speak to community groups and organisations in Harrow to help shape this grant initiative.  We are looking to identify:

~ The key issues that communities are facing as a result of COVID-19, in particular around food poverty, healthy eating and exercise.
~ Initiatives that are currently running (existing projects) and those that could run with funding (new projects).
~ Any relevant networks or forums we can speak at.
~ Potential representatives for the community panel.
~ Any research or reports relating to the above, to expand our evidence base.
