About the fund
Made possible by National Academy for Social Prescribing (providing £1.15 million) and the Arts Council (providing £250,000), the Thriving Communities Fund also includes NHS England, Sport England, Natural England, the Office for Civil Society, the Money & Pensions Service and NHS Charities Together as strategic partners
By working with those communities most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities, the projects funded by the fund had the intention of:
- enhancing collaboration and networking between local organisations
- strengthening the range of social prescribing activities offered locally and enable social prescribing link workers to connect people to more creative community activities and services
- Exploring ways to make these partnerships and activities sustainable over time
