What is #BeeWell

#BeeWell is an initiative in Greater Manchester that aims to make the wellbeing of young people everybody’s business. Co-created with young people, the #BeeWell wellbeing survey will be rolled out across secondary schools from Autumn 2021 onwards to understand young people’s wellbeing. #Beewell will support schools to improve pupil wellbeing and mobilise a coalition of actors to drive positive change in our communities.

Loneliness Engagement Fund

Aims/priorities: The objective of the Fund is to reach the groups in England most affected by loneliness during COVID-19 with communications and engagement activity that will help reduce feelings of stigma and encourage people to take steps to help themselves and others. 

Funding is for organisations to continue, adapt or expand existing activity that reaches groups at a higher risk of loneliness and supports the government’s loneliness objectives.

It can be used for:

Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust - Sustainable Future Programme

Aims/priorities: The overall focus of the Sustainable Future Programme is on developing and promoting sustainable, low-carbon alternatives to the current consumerist and growth-based paradigm. 

The overall focus of the Fund is on developing and promoting sustainable, low-carbon alternatives to the current consumerist and growth-based paradigm. Funding is available for work in the following areas:

Better economics - the Trust will fund work that:

Bernard Sunley Foundation

Aims/priorities: The aim of the foundation is to help raise the quality of life in England and Wales, particularly for the young, disadvantaged and older people. 

The funding is for one-off capital projects (not running costs) such as new buildings, major refurbishments, transport and equipment. Rented premises are expected to have a lease of at least 10 years. Applications for transport should be for new, not used, vehicles. Applications for equipment should be for single, high cost (£5,000 and over), durable items.

eCargo Bike Grant Fund

Aims/priorities: Cargo bikes are cycles specifically designed to carry cargo. They come in a variety of configurations and can be custom-built. A cargo bike with the addition of an electric motor, which assists the rider whilst pedalling, is known as an ecargo bike.

The Government believes that replacing diesel vans with ecargo bikes or electric vans can be a good business decision, as it can help reduce costs, boost the environmental credentials of the organisation and improve the efficiency of deliveries in congested areas.

Asda Foundation - Bringing Communities Back Together

Aims/priorities: Registered charities, community groups, voluntary organisations and other not-for-profit organisations in the UK can apply for support with initiatives that will make a real long-term difference, benefiting the wider community.

In light of easing of coronavirus restrictions, the new scheme Bringing Communities Back Together aims to support local groups by providing two tranches of funding (Phase 1 and Phase 2), aimed at supporting a celebration event or enabling activities and services to get back on track after the disruption of the pandemic.

GM COVID-19 Community Champions Targeted Communications Grants

Aims/priorities: Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is seeking grant applications from GM Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations to support GM residents who are at higher risk of lasting health, social and financial impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and are less likely to engage with mainstream communications approaches. This grants programme is administered by GMCVO.
