VCSE Cancer Advisory Group has £5,000 to reduce health inequalities within people's cancer journey

25 Aug 2017 - 11:59 by michelle.foster

VCSE Advisory Group has £5,000 to allocate to a single project that aims to reduce a health inequality/ies faced by members of particular community within their cancer journey.

The VCSE Advisory Group know many communities within Greater Manchester experience many additional barriers to services; from awareness of signs and symptoms, early diagnosis, through treatment, living with and beyond cancer and dying well.

This funding is to:
• support new work or expedite existing work
• to reduce at least one health inequality
• experienced by at least one protected community or inclusion group listed in the equality health inclusion analysis (EHIA)*
• at least one point of the cancer journey

The VCSE Advisory Group have purposefully kept the restriction to apply for this funding to a minimum to increase creative thinking and encourage both existing and innovative work.

The EHIA attached is a working document, but can be referred to for data and ideas. There are tabs along the bottom of various protected groups and inclusion groups, and the different rows within each tab discuss health inequalities. There are some networks and projects already listed as working to reduce particular health inequalities such as the BAME Cancer Network, LGBT Cancer Support Alliance and the cancer champions/ health as a social movement project.

This money is significant but limited, and to deliver impact with strongly advise applying for this funding as a partnership/ network / collaborative with a named lead, none VCSE organisations can apply, but need to be partnered with a VCSE organisation. Be clear about what are your outputs, verses your outcomes.

The project must be completed within 12 months.

The project must benefit people affected by cancer within Greater Manchester
