#SpeakUp small grants 2018-19 - Summary Report

2018-19 was the second year of our #SpeakUp small grants scheme. Building on last year's success, we awarded grants to 11 local groups who helped their communities to #SpeakUp about health and social care. You can read a summary of the reports here.

Our #SpeakUp small grants scheme awards funding to local community, voluntary, or not-for-profit groups, enabling them to engage with their communities about what matters to them. 

In total, grant recipients gathered the views of around 604 people

This includes:

  • Asylum seekers and refugees
  • People from the BAMER (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic and Refugee) community
  • People with learning disabilities and their families and carers
  • Mums with English as a second language
  • Trans young people, and others from the LGBT+ community
  • Local residents in North Sheffield
  • People with eating disorders, their families and friends
  • Young people and school age pupils, some with mental ill health
  • Those affected by ME and Fibromyalgia
