Healthwatch Wiltshire has launched a grants scheme to invest in projects aiming to improve the health and wellbeing of local people.

Groups can apply for up to £2,000 from the Community Cast Fund.

The scheme will help Healthwatch improve its services and get more feedback from people who it doesn’t necessarily hear from.

“This is a great opportunity for groups to get funding for projects that will really make a difference to health and wellbeing in their community,” said Stacey Plumb, Healthwatch Wiltshire manager.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who has an idea for a project, no matter how small.

“This scheme will help us gather more people’s experiences of local services and help ensure that their voices are heard. We’re excited to see what ideas people have and ho we can help make them a reality.”

Applicants will need to show how the grant will help make a difference to local people. They will need to fill in an application form and return it by March 29.
