Signpost Stockport for Carers have recently launched a new three year project, called Work With Us, focusing on the many unpaid carers who are juggling paid work alongside a caring role.

Near Neighbours offer small grants between £250 and £3,000, as seed funding for local groups and organisations that are working to bring neighbours together across diverse faiths and ethnicities in order to improve their local communities.

Institute for Voluntary Action Research are running online peer support sessions for leaders of charities, community organisations and social enterprises. Over 300 people from across the UK have taken part so far. Their organisations are active in 17 fields including the arts, criminal justice, education, equality, infrastructure and migration.

Charities are being urged to join the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) Health and Wellbeing Alliance, following its relaunch on 15 August, to ensure the lived experiences of the people they represent are reflected in the development of health policy.

The Health and Wellbeing Alliance is a key element of the Health and Wellbeing Programme, the aim of which is to promote health equalities and reduce health inequalities across the UK.
