A number of community groups across the Royal Borough are the latest to receive special funding to launch and run community-led initiatives supporting the wellbeing of residents.

They join 29 other local organisations which have already benefitted from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead’s Innovation Fund, which is run in partnership with NHS Frimley.

In this latest and fourth round of applications, the 18 groups each received up to £2,500 to get their projects up and running. They include groups to encourage and protect biodiversity, football sessions for children, and yoga for Asian women.

As with successful applicants in the previous funding rounds, the new groups had to show how their project would improve access to services, prevent health risks, tackle social isolation and loneliness, and reduce mental or physical health inequalities.
