Worcestershire County Council has launched a new small grants programme to encourage more physical activity and active travel across the county. Voluntary and community sector groups can apply for grants to establish or maintain exercise groups or sessions – such as walking groups or Couch to 5k running programmes. Funding can also support fitness leader training, buying equipment or promoting exercise opportunities. Community organisations may bid for grants of up to £3,000. The money cannot be used for infrastructure projects and is only one-off funding. Therefore, applicants must indicate how they will ensure the sustainability of projects after the grant funding has been utilised. Applications close on 30 June 2025.

#HIWM12DaysOfChristmas Day 12! Associate Director of Implementation and Improvement, Jodie Mazur, shares her personal highlight of working on the Good Health, Good Lives project. Working in partnership with the West Midlands Self Advocacy Network, West Midlands and East Midlands Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and Health Innovation East Midlands, we developed a suite of bespoke soft sign deterioration management tools called ‘Keeping Well’, to better support earlier recognition and management for people with learning disabilities. ‘Keeping Well’ has been shared nationally, and the West Midlands-based integrated care systems have used the learnings to begin shaping improvement plans to better recognise and respond to the deterioration of people with learning disabilities.
