The third round of funding as part of the Tackling Inequalities Through Physical Activity programme is now open.

East Sussex Public Health has released funds to Wealden District Council to deliver a third round of grant funding to support organisations who specifically work towards reducing inequalities and aim to deliver better health outcomes within the district. The funding can support existing projects or new ideas, which provide direct support to the local community. Anything from gardening clubs to seated exercise sessions and more.

Previous rounds of funding over the past two years has provided funding to eleven organisations within the district. These include The Good Company People which increases fitness levels through exercise for over 65s, The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) which provides residents with practical conservation activities to increase mental wellbeing through a Green Gym project, and Rotherfield St Martin which has used the funding to support hydrotherapy sessions helping those with arthritis, stiffness of joints and those recovering from hip or knee surgery.
