NHS Gloucestershire ICB launches multi-year funding for community capacity.

Applications are now open on the Fund Gloucestershire platform for grants between £10,000 and £30,000 a year for up to three years from NHS Gloucestershire ICB to provide core capacity investment for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and partnerships working in Gloucestershire. View the full detail of the Community Health and Wellbeing Fund here.

NHS Gloucestershire ICB has launched a new grant for local VCSE organisations that help improve health and wellbeing in Gloucestershire.

The grant builds on the 2025 Community Health and Wellbeing Fund, investing in local communities to help organisations and groups create the conditions for healthy individuals and communities. It will provide support for organisations’ core costs, helping local groups become more sustainable and strategic, adapting delivery over the longer term.

The funding aims to help organisations work in ways that are sustainable, collaborative and shaped by what local communities need; as well as providing the investment required to think differently about how support can be provided in neighbourhoods.

How much funding is available?

Organisations can apply for between £10,000 and £30,000 a year for up to three years.

Longer-term funding recognises that building trust, strengthening organisations and making lasting change takes time. Short-term project funding does not always give organisations the stability they need to plan ahead and embed change.

Find out more at our online webinar

We are holding an online webinar on Microsoft Teams where you can learn more about the grant and ask questions.

  • Date: Monday 28th September 2026
  • Time: 12:45 to 14:15
