Building Community Pharmacy Grants

BCPP is about local communities and pharmacists working together using a community development approach to meet local health needs.

There are three levels of funding available.

Level 1 funding

This funding is for those interested in: working on a local community-pharmacy partnership. Perhaps these applicants do not want to commit to a large project until they’re sure of: what issue to focus on, what they want to do and who they should work with. BCPP are here to support you throughout this initial stage and that is why we are now offering grants of up £2,000 for a maximum of 9 months. This funding will help get the project off the ground by developing ideas, partnerships and giving an insight into the needs and issues in your area.

Level 2 funding

This is for those who have a clear vision of what their project will do, what issues it will look at, who it will partner with and how it will go about achieving it aims and objectives. This funding is open to all constituted community groups and pharmacists and grants will be awarded up to £10,000 for a maximum of 2 years.

Level 3 funding

This tier is for those who have already completed and evaluated a BCPP project and are now keen to sustain the work their project has already carried out. If this applies to you, then you could be eligible for a grant up to £10,000 per year for a maximum of 3 years. Applicants must clearly demonstrate how they have and will meet BCPP aims and objectives.
