Health Inequities: Structural Racism and Discrimination Partnership

The National Lottery Community Fund are looking for 10 partner organisations to work with them to tackle health inequities in England caused by structural racism and discrimination. Partners will lead this work, bringing knowledge of health inequities and lived experience informed by their engagement with particular racialised communities.

What TNLCF mean by structural racism and discrimination

By structural racism and discrimination, The National Lottery Community Fund mean the unfair ways that systems and practices affect people based on their race. This can include:

• rules and processes
• the way services are usually organised
• everyday behaviours and decisions

Together, these can make things harder for some communities.

For example, people may find it more difficult to get support or may end up with worse health than others.

Who TNLCF want to work with

The National Lottery Community Fund are seeking organisations with experience of working with at least one of these communities:

• Black communities
• Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities
• Jewish communities
• Middle Eastern and East Asian communities
• South Asian communities

They want to work with organisations led by people from these communities. In most cases, this means at least 3 out of 4 of staff and trustees should come from at least one of the groups.

TNLCF also recognise the importance of intersectionality, and welcome organisations that respond to the intersecting factors that shape people’s experiences of health inequity.

What you’ll do as a partner

Partners will:

• work with people in your communities to reduce inequities caused by structural racism and discrimination
• work with us and other partners to share learning, test new ideas, and shape future funding

TNLCF can fund new or existing work. They'll also cover the costs of running your project and working with partners.

This funding is expected to last for 5 years.
