The Building the Community-Pharmacy Partnership (BCPP) in Northern Ireland is inviting applications for its two funding rounds which will address community health needs.
BCPP is a partnership between the Community Development and Health Network (CDHN) and the Health and Social Care Board. The programme aims to promote and support local communities to work in partnership with community pharmacists to address local health and social wellbeing needs using a community development approach.
The programme is designed to increase local people’s skills, encouraging community activity and self help, increase people’s understanding of health issues and encourage people to play a role in promoting health.
A key element of the funding is to demonstrate commitment from and partnership working with community pharmacists and the local community.
The funding is being distributed in two tranches – Level 1, which will provide grants up to £2,000 and Level 2 funding which offer grants up to £10,000. Level 1 funding is for projects which will last up to six months while Level 2 funding is for projects that can run for a year.
The deadline for Level 1 funding is 15th September and 17th November for Level 2. Application forms are available from CDHN.
