Building the Community-Pharmacy Partnership Programme
/The Building the Community-Pharmacy Partnership (BCPP) is a joint venture between the Community Development and Health Network (CDHN) and the Health and Social Care Board with strategic direction offered by a multi-agency Steering Group. BCPP projects address a wide range of issues operating in both villages and urban housing estates. The projects work best when local groups work with pharmacists in their own area although some projects do cover a wider geographical area. The funding is intended to promote and support local communities to work in partnership with community pharmacists to address local health and social wellbeing needs using a community development approach.
The overall aims of the programme include:
Enabling project participants to achieve their full potential.
Supporting pharmacy to fulfil their role as advocates for public health within communities.
Supporting community partners to recognise and address health inequalities in their community.
Increasing social capital to build connected and engaged communities.
The following grants are available: Level 1 grants: £2,500 maximum for a six-month project. / Level 2 grants: £12,000 maximum for a one-year project.
