Community Cash Fund Applications now open
Applications are now open for the Healthwatch Hampshire Community Cash Fund 2019.
Healthwatch Hampshire provide funding for individuals, groups and organisations with creative and innovative ideas to gather information on people’s experiences of health and social care services in the area.
We launched this fund to invest in projects that aim to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community and are seeking to support local community and voluntary organisations who have projects that need funding.
Perhaps you’ve got a great idea but can’t get funding? Well, now’s your chance to make it happen and get grants of between £500 and £2,000. This year we are focusing on Mental Health services and Children and Young People, with a focus on those who are deemed vulnerable or with additional needs.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Long Term Plan Report
Healthwatch England commissioned the four Local Healthwatch organisations (Healthwatch Hampshire, Healthwatch Southampton, Healthwatch Portsmouth and Healthwatch Isle of Wight) to carry out a survey to understand people’s views of the ambitions set out in the Long Term Plan and in particular, what people felt was important to them in terms of their health and care. Together, we encouraged people to complete two surveys – one general survey which was suitable for everyone and one directed at people with long term conditions. Alongside this, we carried a series of focus groups to reach people who might not otherwise have the chance to share their reflections on the Long-Term Plan. Read the report here
Maternity Matters - Report & response now published
The Local Maternity System is undergoing changes and we are working with local maternity services to gather feedback that will help us better understand how services can be improved to ensure women have an informed and empowered choice through their pregnancy and birth.
Wessex Voices (a collaboration between local Healthwatch organisations and NHS England) were asked to carry out this wide ranging survey to understand experiences of using maternity services.
We are now pleased to publishing the final report, recommendations and response. Please click here for more information.
