King Baudouin Foundation - Community Health Fund

Aims/priorities: The funding is intended for new and existing projects that address the issues of mental health of young people in the 15 to 24 age range. Projects should specifically address the needs of the most vulnerable communities including young people displaced due to conflicts, racial and ethnic minorities, refugees and asylum seekers, those with disabilities and certain health conditions, and those who are socio-economically disadvantaged.

Transport for Greater Manchester - Bike Library Grant

Aims/priorities: Bike libraries are local hubs that will allow people to borrow a bicycle, like a book, to try out. They aim to boost access to cycles and give people a chance to give cycling a go.

Bike libraries are generally based in the heart of a community, within easy reach by foot, in places such as community centres, schools, village halls or local business premises.

Bike libraries support similar schemes that are available in Greater Manchester, helping create local hubs where bikes are donated, fixed up and used.

The funding is intended to enable more opportunities for people living with Parkinson’s to access physical activities and enjoy being active, which is key in helping to manage symptoms, maintain health and lift their mood.
