Applications open for wellbeing projects fund
Are you part of a community group or organisation with a project that will provide wellbeing support to people in East Ayrshire?
East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership wants to identify and support projects, services and sources of community-based support that will promote good wellbeing at all ages and stages.
Community groups and projects are invited to apply for funding through our Wellbeing for All participatory budget, with the successful projects chosen by East Ayrshire residents.
Wellbeing for All participatory budget
Participatory budgeting is a way to distribute funding to projects. In a nutshell, ideas are gathered about how the budget should be spent, and members of the public will vote for which they think are most important. The ideas with the most votes receive funding.
Organisations, community groups and services are invited to submit their ideas for their health and social care projects to receive funding from our participatory budget. We’re calling this fund Wellbeing for All.
The final decision on which projects are allocated funding will sit with East Ayrshire’s residents.
To help us do this, we will host a participatory budgeting event, where residents can vote for the community projects they think should be awarded funding.
