The Work and Health Unit (WHU), which is jointly managed by the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department of Health and Social Care, is using a £4.2m Challenge Fund to test new approaches that can help people experiencing mental health and/or musculoskeletal (MSK) issues stay in work.

They are looking to fund around twenty Initiatives which will improve their understanding of what works in one or more of the following areas:

  • Helping people stay in work by increasing their ability to self-manage their conditions.
  • Helping people access advice and support about what sort of work they might be capable of doing given their wider needs and circumstances.
  • Developing new approaches to help employers and individuals develop workplace solutions, or ways of working that facilitate greater participation of people experiencing these conditions.
  • Improving systems by joining up services to strengthen communication, liaison or joint action.

We welcome applications from employers, charities, social enterprises, local authorities, health bodies and others from across England, Scotland and Wales.

The deadline for receipt of Challenge Fund applications is Friday 17th August at 17.00. Projects are anticipated to run between October 2018 and February 2020.

Building More Integrated Communities: New Funding Announced

The aim of the Integrated Communities Innovation Fund is to support a range of projects, both in size and in scale, that are bold and innovative in approach and that encourage integration in a wide range of contexts. Of particular interest are projects that can, in time, be scaled up to reach a minimum of 300. Overall, projects supported will:

  • Be innovative in the way they tackle integration challenges
  • Explain how they will achieve positive integration and offer evidence to support this
  • Clearly understand how outcomes will be measured and evaluated
  • Demonstrate how partners and the local community will buy-in to the proposed activity
  • Show potential for growth both in numbers of participants and effectiveness
  • Demonstrate clear deliverability, value for money and financial stability
  • Be led by organisations willing to share their experiences honestly and wisely.

The Fund is open to applications from legally constituted organisations or those with statutory powers working with beneficiaries in England.

There are no minimum or maximum grant levels set and funding is only available for 2018/19 and 2019/20. Further terms and conditions are set out in the Fund Prospectus

Submit an expression of interest as Stage One of Two by 23:45 on Monday 20th August.
