13. Topics in detail
▶ Priority issue briefings on our webpages
▶ Provide direction in the aspects of each priority issue we
want to fund - these are not prescriptive

14. Workforce Health
Brief: We want to fund eligible organisations to work with and support micro-
businesses (fewer than 10 employees) and the VCSE sector to develop an effective
and sustainable workforce health offer, to improve the physical and mental health of
their employees. Workforce health is a priority for us and we aim to support local
delivery of national ambitions relating to this by helping small businesses, charities
and social enterprises do the best for their employees.
Avoid working with larger businesses who already have a workplace health offer,
working with organisations who already have a London Healthy Workplace Charter
accreditation status, programmes which only provide information to employees

15. Supporting families to manage common childhood
illnesses closer to home
Brief We are looking for applications to empower families to prevent and
manage childhood illness and to support them to do so with education
and information, ensuring families are aware of pathways of appropriate
points to access healthcare.
Avoid We are less interested in projects that focus solely on one area i.e.
healthy eating (currently covered by services available in Hackney) or oral
health (part of another HCHF priority).

16. Navigating health and social care for
homeless people and rough sleepers
Brief - Ill health can be both a cause and consequence of
homelessness. Many homeless residents face real or perceived
barriers to accessing healthcare, caused primarily by the complexity
of the care system and the challenges caused by their transitory
circumstances. We would welcome bids from VCSE groups that
support homeless people to confidently access the right care within
our local systems.
Avoid - Solutions for housing provision for homeless and rough
sleepers. Projects that solely provide information and wayfinding
for homeless residents. General support services to homeless and
rough sleepers that are not health specific (or include a strong
element of health).

17. Recovery following a life-changing
injury or illness
Brief -We are interested in bids which support residents recovering
from a life-changing illness or injury (such as cancer patients and
people who have suffered head injuries) following clinical treatment
to aid their recovery and enable them to access mainstream services
that will keep them well such as physical activity provision, help with
diet and nutrition, and initiatives aimed at improving mental
wellbeing.
Avoid - Projects that work with stroke patients eligible to access the
Fit 4 health programme, Projects that simply provide navigation
support or information about available local services

18. Tackling loneliness in under 50s
Brief – We want to identify the factors that lie at the heart of
loneliness as it exists in the City in Hackney, to look at ways of
identifying who is suffering and, importantly, identify assets that
exist to alleviate loneliness, including how to make activities
attractive to those who are lonely.
Avoid – Services targeted at over 55s, Making Every Contact Count,
Social Prescribing in primary care, Helping people to get home from
hospital, befriending services, a directory of services.

19. Identifying people at risk of falls
Brief – Hackney Public Health commission a falls prevention service (not
currently available in the City of London), and the City & Hackney CCG
commission strength & balance services, but by their nature these
predominantly respond to someone’s first or subsequent fall. We would
like to better understand who is most at risk of a fall that causes injury,
and how to make falls prevention training attractive to those who have
not yet suffered.
Avoid – Interventions for those who have already had a fall, falls
prevention in a clinical setting, falls prevention assessment in primary
care settings, general health promotion activities relating to falls,
navigation services.

20. Oral health promotion for children and
young people
Brief – Organisations will be funded to test and develop a pilot
campaign focusing on preventing poor oral health and improving
practice within a communities in City and Hackney as a research project
with tailored outcomes for their population group. For instance the
fund would particularly welcome applications for promoting a research
based pilot campaign for the Orthodox Jewish community, the Gypsy,
Roma, travellers’ communities, or other groups with poorer oral health
outcomes.
Avoid – Running oral health activities already delivered locally, such as
fluoride varnish programmes for children or dental surveys of 5 year old
children and broad campaigns relating to diet, smoking or other
behaviours that influence oral health

21. Improving health services support for
autistc people
Brief – Autistic people can be disadvantaged when it comes to
accessing health services and access to healthcare provided for autistic
people does not guarantee effective and appropriate treatment. There
are positive steps that can be made by adapting services and
communication to meet the needs of autistic people.
Avoid – Piloting services that we already have such as the Adult Autism
Service and Hackney Ark, projects which only provide training to health
staff and projects which duplicate the work of the Autism Alliance,
which is a local partnership of professionals with an remit for autism
