Amount awarded: £40,000
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.

Capital grant support is available for the development of new and existing low-carbon heat networks.
Local registered charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for projects which improve a physical building (or land attached to it) that is used by people in need.
