Wesport have been appointed by the Inner City and East Bristol and South Bristol Locality Partnerships to manage this one-off Positive Activities grants process.  
The aim of the fund is to address health inequalities in children and young people by supporting positive activities that can contribute to improved healthy weight and mental health outcomes.
The focus for projects based in Inner City and East Bristol will be on improving mental health outcomes through positive activities.
The focus for projects based in South Bristol will be on supporting healthy weight through positive activities.
Whilst we know many factors contribute to both healthy weight and good mental health, we want to build on the natural capacity that exists across our communities and empower communities to identify and realise their own solutions.
The desire is to provide funding that can explore a range of initiatives and interventions at varying levels that can support positive health outcomes across local communities. This can include projects with a focus on physical activity and movement, engagement in arts, culture and nature and initiatives to encourage healthy eating or a combination of all.
We will be looking for projects that can demonstrate they are directly linked into the local community. Ideally, projects should be co-designed with the target audience they will be supporting, and you will need to demonstrate a strong insight into their needs and have a realistic plan for engagement.
Wesport are able to offer support and wider connections to all Physical activity focused projects and will endeavour to connect all other projects into relevant local support networks.
