Solihull Fairer Futures Fund

In its Inception Framework, Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System sets out a series of radical ambitions to transform how health and social care services are run, and at the same time to give real focus to improving outcomes and tackling inequalities.

To help to achieve this, they have created the Fairer Futures Fund to support community, clinical and professionally-led innovation. The Fairer Futures Fund for Solihull has been delegated to the local Place Committee to administer in line with the needs of local communities.

The fund is designed to seed-corn and support activities that will contribute to improved integrated working which in turn will improve outcomes and help to tackle inequality. Initially, the majority of these may be on a very localised or team-based level, with a view to some initiatives creating new ways of working that can be scaled up and adopted across Birmingham and Solihull.

The Fairer Futures Fund is designed to fund activities that will contribute to improving outcomes and tackling inequality. The Fund can support projects which are targeted at:

• Improving population health and healthcare;
• Tackling unequal outcomes and access;
• Enhancing productivity and value; and,
• Supporting the broader social and economic development of Solihull.

Grants of up to £10,000 per organisation are available. Projects must be completed within 18 months.

Grants are available for projects in Solihull and will support Solihull residents. Organisations will need to have a strong track record of delivery in Solihull.
