Funding Now Open! 2025 REN Community Research for Health Grants

Does your organisation work with people with a story to tell? If so, you may be interested in becoming a community researcher!

WVCA is pleased to announce that the next phase of Research Engagement Development (REN) fund is now underway to discover what matters most to people when it comes to health and care in 2025.

WVCA is offering free training and between £2000-10,000 per project. WVCA is interested in projects looking at all diverse communities in the Black Country, all ages, abilities and languages are welcome.

WVCA  has already been working with a wide range of community groups, charities and social enterprises, who have been highlighting important case studies from within the Black Country about people’s experiences of health and care. WVCA has had some amazing feedback and is now in the next phase to expand work even further and provide evidence to health commissioners about the important role the voluntary sector plays.
