What the fund is about: One grant of up to £40,000 for a VCSE organisation or partnership to support vulnerable women and those with a cervix across Wakefield District to participate in cervical screening and to educate individuals about the health benefits associated with regular screening.
The purpose is to increase cervical screening uptake among vulnerable women and those with a cervix (including those experiencing substance misuse, homelessness, commercial sex work, and domestic violence) by providing tailored outreach, education, and support to access mobile screening services. The aim is to reduce barriers to screening and improve health outcomes for these groups within 12 months.

Grants are available to UK-registered charities that help children and young people recovering from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and parents affected by ACEs, mental illness, or addiction.
Community groups, charities and partners working to reduce serious violence can apply for up to £10,000 each. Projects may include education, prevention, awareness and improving community safety.
