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. On this page, you can find out about funding, see some great past projects and get information and useful links for schools. There is also contact information and list of VCSE organisations that work with young people.
