Support for Schools
Salford CVS is funded by NHS Salford CCG to deliver the Healthy Schools programme with primary schools throughout the city. The programe consists of a grants programme combined with practical support for schools in planning projects, applying for funding and evaluating project impact. We also support and encourage links between schools and VCSE organisations to develop bids and secure funding.
