Funding available through Salford CVS
The Third Sector Fund (TSF) is our largest grants programme. It is split into around 10 distinct funds per year, such as the Wellbeing Fund, the Volunteers’ Expenses Fund, and the Grow Well Fund. Established in 2014 with funding from Salford NHS Integrated Care Partnership (previously Salford Clinical Commissioning Group), to date the TSF has supported over 300 voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations and schools to address key health and wellbeing priorities in the city. The current TSF agreement with Salford NHS ICP is £5 million over 2020-2025.
In addition to the TSF, Salford CVS also works with a range of statutory and non-statutory partners to provide further funding opportunities to the VCSE sector. These include the Short Break Care Fund – funded by Salford City Council to provide breaks for the parents/carers of children with disabilities – and the Achieve Asset Fund, funded by Greater Manchester NHS Mental Health Foundation Trust to support people living in Salford and Trafford who have received treatment for, and are recovering from, drug and/or alcohol addiction.
