We have £25,000 available in grant funding to support local voluntary, community, social enterprise (VCSE) and youth organisations working with Hastings residents. We’re looking for your unique knowledge of your beneficiary group to raise awareness of the benefits of smoking cessation and the free local Stop Smoking services provided by One You East Sussex. Ultimately, we would like to increase referrals to and take-up of these services.
One way of doing this is to highlight and present details of services using materials that will both appeal to and resonate with the groups you are working with. You might want to buy improved signage to present smoking in and around your premises. You could also design and run Smoking Cessation sessions to encourage people to give up smoking and provide additional support throughout the process. Grants of up to £4,500 are available.
We are now operating a rolling programme so there is no deadline for application submission, but delivery of your projects should be completed in November 2026.
For further information please see Guidance for Applicants and SFG Application Form attached below. You can also contact Jan Papworth ([email protected]) who can answer any questions and help you with your application.
