Joint Funding Call

Wessex Health Partners and Southampton Hospitals Charity launch a joint funding call

Wessex Health Partners (WHP) and Southampton Hospitals Charity (SHC) have launched a new £100,000 funding scheme to support innovative projects that improve women’s health and cardiovascular health for our local population.

The joint call will provide £50,000 for women’s health projects and £50,000 for cardiovascular health projects, supporting research, Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE), workshops and other initiatives that can generate impact, strengthen collaborations and improve health outcomes for local communities.

The funding opportunity delivers the shared ambitions of Wessex Health Partners and Southampton Hospitals Charity by bringing together expertise across organisations, addressing major health challenges facing the region, and accelerating the translation of research and innovation into real benefits for patients and communities. It also fosters cross‑organisational and interdisciplinary collaboration, strengthening partnerships and shaping future programmes of work across Wessex. 

 Applications must be led by a substantive employee of a WHP partner organisation and include at least one Southampton-based collaborator*. The funding is intended as pump-prime investment to help teams develop ideas, establish partnerships and attract future external funding.
