Updates and opportunities
for south east London's VCSE sector
Opportunities
Browse current and archived opportunities for VCSE leaders, all focused on strengthening strategic partnership, knowledge-sharing and collaboration with NHS partners for a stronger south east London.
South East London Community Blood Pressure Screening
Community groups across south east London can apply for grants of around £3,500 to work in partnership with GP practices, PCNs or pharmacy teams to deliver community-based blood pressure screening and health education. Using a newly developed community hypertension resource, successful projects will help improve early detection of high blood pressure, reduce cardiovascular health inequalities, and test innovative approaches to prevention in underserved communities.
Creative Health in Southwark
Up to £18,000 of funding is available for Southwark‑based arts and culture organisations to deliver Creative Health activity addressing local health priorities.

Why partnership with the VCSE sector is essential for neighbourhood health
NAVCA and ALLiance42, with the support of The Partner Ship, we have been working to bring together VCSE evidence, solutions and learning to answer practical questions about how to deliver neighbourhood health with communities. This is shared in the VCSE Handbook on Neighbourhood Health.
Unlocking neighbourhood data
Access to meaningful data is essential if VCSE organisations are to shape services, influence decisions and address health inequalities. Developed by PPL in partnership with all London ICBs and VCSE Alliances, the London Neighbourhood Explorer provides free access to neighbourhood-level data for the first time.
