Overview
The Public Health Accelerator Bids (PHAB) programme will fund new projects that help people in Essex to live a healthy life.
The £7.5 million grant programme will run for three years.
PHAB will make a difference to the lives of many vulnerable residents across Essex. The programme focuses on closing the health inequalities experienced in the county.
The programme consists of two grants:
- small grants of between £500 and £7,500
- major grants from £15,000 with no upper limit. Round three of the expressions of interest opens on Monday 8 April 2024 and closes 5pm Friday 3 May 2024
Essex County Council reserve the right to cap the upper limit of funding dependent on availability to provide proportionate universalism at any time.
