Prevention of local and regional social decline – actions which stop social problems from developing or worsening.
We want to fund projects or organisations that work to prevent a decline in the quality of life of people affected by neighbourhood problems or broader discrimination. We believe that there are some key factors that lead to a decline in community life. Here are the ones on which we want to concentrate:
• persistent crime
• prejudice and discrimination
• high rates of teenage pregnancy
• the difficulties of providing good parenting
• substance misuse and abuse
• environmental decay
• youth disaffection
• inadequate facilities for local groups to meet including community centres and village halls.
We know that some smaller groups may lack the experience and skills to gather information, manage projects and articulate their needs to others who might be able to help them. We will provide additional financial help to buy in extra expertise if needed.
While we believe that medical care and disease prevention are best left to others, we will support the promotion of general good health and well-being, for example, through schemes to encourage better dietary habits, and sporting activities in pursuit of health and fitness.
We will be looking for a clear understanding of the issue or problem you want to tackle, an argument as to why your approach is likely to help and a good plan to run, adjust and reflect on your activities.
