• Mitigation of social isolation.
• Support to help individuals leave local hospitals into community care.
• Development of platforms to support community signposting to appropriate third sector support services.
• Start-up grants that address of health inequalities across the region.
• Physical activity programmes for improving physical and mental health wellbeing. In particular they are interested in projects that may support hidden and minority groups.
