Community led organisations can now apply for grants in Cornwall to fund health and wellbeing projects.
The grants, of up to £5,000, can be applied for as part of work by the Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) Cornwall.
The announcement comes after a pilot scheme saw 11 organisations undertake projects ranging from an examination of health barriers to diverse women, to a survey of experiences of young people arriving at a homeless refuge, organsiers said.
Leaders at Cornwall Council said the money could be used by organisations to carry out research “so they can better understand and support the communities they serve”.
