NHS Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group

As part of this programme there are funding rounds with specific deadlines - see the About Tab for more information on the next round.

This fund is designed to support projects which enable Sunderland to be a healthy city, where people live healthier lives for longer, with people accessing our wonderful natural assets such as our beaches, parks.

Examples of projects and activities that we would be interested in supporting includes the following, however we are flexible and keen to hear about projects in general that ‘think out of the box’.

- Pilot projects or activities exploring the delivery of new activities or approaches which make Sunderland a greater place to live, work and play - Pilot projects or activities exploring the delivery of new activities which make Sunderland a health city

- Innovative projects or activities that bring different sections of the community together, that may not usually come together

- Projects and activities where an organisation wish to experiment with something, that is outside of their normal area of work and would like the opportunity to ‘just try it’.

- Projects and activities that involve organisations that have not previously worked together, coming together to achieve new outcomes

Our vision is to improve the health, wellbeing and life expectancy of the residents of Sunderland, by providing joined up health and social care, underpinned by effective clinical decision-making, reducing the disparities in health across the city and achieving “better health for Sunderland”.
