Hastings Voluntary Action is delighted to launch the Smokefree Generation Small Grants Programme 2026, offering a share of £40,000 to support local voluntary, community, social enterprise (VCSE) and youth organisations working across Hastings. Funded by East Sussex County Council, this programme will support projects that help people stop smoking, improve community health and wellbeing, and raise awareness of free local support through One You East Sussex. We’re particularly keen to hear from organisations working with communities most affected by smoking-related harm, and welcome creative ideas—from workshops and peer support to campaigns and community events. If your organisation is passionate about making a difference and can deliver activities by November 2026, we encourage you to apply and be part of creating a smokefree generation in Hastings.
Webinar for Potential Applicants
HVA and Public Health are hosting a webinar at 12pm on Tuesday 31 March to answer questions about the grant scheme. If you would like to attend, please email [email protected] to register.
