Webinar: Funding for the Environment and Health
Date: 13 November 2018, 2pm


Welsh Government has recently launched two new grants schemes that support the delivery of key elements of the Programme for Government as set out in Taking Wales Forward and Prosperity for All, while supporting delivery of specific policies relating to health and natural resources in an integrated way.

• ENRaW focusing on improving the quality of the local environment and creating sustainable green infrastructure; and
• HAF supporting projects that can access and make use of these areas to encourage healthy and active lifestyles
  

In each case, the new grants focus on encouraging collaborative projects that will deliver a range of multiple benefits and improved outcome across the well-being goals, leading to longer term sustainability and new models of delivery. The teams operating the grants will continue to work closely to ensure that clear links between the schemes and the activities they support are made.

By the end of this webinar you will understand what the funds are about and whether it is suitable for your group to apply. This webinar is also an opportunity to ask questions about the funding and application process.
