The True Colours Trust has launched its small grants programme for hospices and palliative care providers across Africa to support the development of palliative care.
Funding Priorities
Trustees favour support for items which directly improve the patient experience and the standard of palliative care services for people of all ages.
Please note: For this round, prevention of and protection against Covid-19 for health workers, patients and their families are included as crosscutting issues across all the funding priorities. This round they are therefore accepting applications for work designed to allow services to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Priority is given to the following, in no particular order:
- Training courses for palliative care service providers held in Africa (applicants must supply a curriculum / outline of the topics to be covered, Curriculum vitae (CVs) of the trainers, fill out the training template and supply the name of the accrediting body. Funds will be released on receiving the letter of acceptance for the training institution for those applying to undertake courses). For this round, training in dealing with Covid-19, including prevention, containment, referral, vaccination and use of PPE, will also be considered.
- Equipment for patients (e.g. beds, wheelchairs). For this round, equipment may also include PPEs for staff and patients, or any other equipment to support palliative care patients for prevention of Covid-19
- Projects supporting paediatric palliative care services (this could include purchasing toys, integrating paediatric services into an existing programme, developing materials for advocacy, etc.).
- Palliative care Essential Medicines and Personal Protection Equipment. For this round, medicines and equipment may include that intended to ensure the safety of patients and staff including PPE; masks, aprons, gowns, face shields, temperature guns, hand sanitiser, soap, etc.
- Capital improvement costs (such as refurbishing buildings to improve the patient experience, buying furniture, etc.)…….
Funding Information
- Applications and approved grants are administered by the African Palliative Care Association. Funding is primarily for one-off projects, with a duration of no more than one year.
- The size of grants ranges from £500 – £5,000.
