Expression of Interest
This funding opportunity is open to organisations operating within Monmouthshire and Newport, due to the remaining unallocated funding from the RIF Small Grant Scheme, for these localities. Expressions of interest are now invited, offering third sector organisations to propose initiatives that can offer support within either of the two priority categories outlined below.
Priority 1: Preventative Community Capacity (wrap around support to prevent escalation of
need/specialist intervention)

· offering mental health first aid training
· providing support for overall well-being
· helping with housing and preventing homelessness
· encouraging physical activity to support health conditions
· ensuring homes are safe to prevent falls
· supporting families
· keeping older people in the community engaged and connected
Priority 2: Alternative Capacity to support discharge (a range of solutions to support
individuals waiting for community care to leave hospital/turnaround at the front door)
Priority Intent: Develop a range of solutions that can support individuals to leave hospital when waiting a package of care for a short term period.
