They want to fund projects that do one or more of the following:
increase residents’ access to Public Health information about the COVID-19 vaccinations including responding to valid concerns about the vaccines and the vaccination process
reduce misinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccines via open and respectful dialogues where concerns and mistrust can be addressed
support communities to understand the evolving rules and guidance around lockdown and lockdown easing, social distancing, testing and self-isolation
increase residents’ understanding of the practical support available to them, such as benefits and financial support
increase residents’ understanding of the mental health and wellbeing support available to them
help communities understand the bereavement support services available to them
Make a positive difference to residents’ health and wellbeing by communicating messages about public health issues other than COVID-19 (e.g. healthy eating, physical activity, stop smoking services etc.)
