Public Health Agency Grant Scheme

Small Grants Available

Last year, over 350 projects across Northern Ireland benefited from over £1 million from the PHA’s short-term funding programme.

PHA are aware of the impact COVID-19 has had on our society. To provide support in our communities, PHA hope their this year's short-term funding programme will again be used to improve the health and wellbeing of local communities, with a particular focus on improving mental and emotional wellbeing.

About The Grants

PHA are keen to invest in programmes that have been identified within communities that have a particular focus on using one or more of the ‘Take 5’ Steps to Wellbeing’.


These five simple steps can be built into our daily lives to maintain and improve wellbeing – Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give and Take Notice.

Two types of awards are available under the programme:

  • Award one: Funding of up to £1,000 for non-constituted and constituted non-profit taking community/ voluntary sector groups.

  • Award two: Funding of between £1,001 and to a maximum of £5,000 for constituted, non-profit taking community/ voluntary sector groups.

Closing date for applications is Thursday 21July 2022 at 3pm
