People’s Health Trust
Funding in excess of £100,000 annually to support activities in Holyhead.
​
People’s Health Trust is committed to being a local people-led funder. This means that they engage with local communities over the longer term, so that they can determine how and when the money is best spent within their local area to make it an even better place to grow, live, work and age.
​
Local Conversations is a flexible funding model which is led by what local people want.
​
Local people know their local communities best. They know:
​
-
what the community does well
-
what is needed to make things even better
-
where and when it is needed
-
how to make change happen in their communities.
​
We believe that communities coming together and having genuine control over how, where and when money is committed is one important way to distribute funds. It places local people at the heart of local plans, rather than local people having to fit into a funder’s plans.
​
This is done in Holyhead by supporting various activities and groups and the Community POD
