Sussex Community NHS Charity
About This Funder
Sussex Community NHS Charity, the official charity of Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, enhances the health and wellbeing of patients, staff, and communities across Sussex by funding initiatives that exceed core NHS services. Closely aligned with the Trust, it was established to deliver excellent community healthcare, emphasizing compassion, equity, partnership, inclusiveness, quality, and innovation. Its approach is responsive to local priorities, such as those amplified by Covid-19, with a strong commitment to evidence-led impact on health outcomes through targeted, collaborative efforts.
The charity prioritizes mental health support for patients and staff, tackling health inequalities (especially in BAME communities), suicide prevention, hospital discharge assistance, and innovations in community health and social care. It funds direct interventions, voluntary sector capacity-building, and partnerships—recently distributing NHS Charities Together grants to organizations like Martlets Hospice, 4Sight Vision Support, and Albion in the Community for aligned projects. Beneficiaries include underserved populations served by the Trust.
Eligibility is restricted to Sussex-based projects and organizations directly benefiting local populations, with no specified entity types or income limits but a preference for voluntary sector partners addressing Trust priorities. Grants typically range from £10,000 to £40,000, awarded adhoc via invite-only collaborative rounds—no unsolicited applications, standard forms, or public deadlines. Distinctive for its NHS integration, proactive partnership management, and focus on equity gaps, it excludes core/unrestricted funding and non-Sussex activities, favoring strategic, high-impact proposals for marginalised groups and workforce wellbeing.
