VANEL are pleased to announce that we have offered our support to a significant number of local organisations and ‘Communities of Interest’ during the month long period that stage one funding applications to HealthWin were being accepted. Nearly half of the groups we worked with were invited to submit a more detailed stage two funding bid, and we are excited to find out which groups will soon be in receipt of the funding that they need!

Some exciting changes have been happening at Positive Activities over the past few months. The organisation, formerly known as GHoPA, has moved to a new location, has a new telephone number, as well as new Twitter and Facebook handles. And to top it all off, in 2017, Positive Activities will be celebrating their 10th birthday! Positive Activities have recently submitted a funding bid to the Aviva Fund for their ‘healthy mind and body’ programme, Spirited. To be in with a chance of being awarded the funding they need to trial the programme, they need your vote. Read on to find out more!
