£600,000 total funding available from the Health Foundation and NHSE&I, with up to £30,000 for each project
Exchange
Have you got a great idea that you’d like to get £30,000 of funding for?
Q Exchange is Q’s £600,000 funding programme. Funded by the Health Foundation and NHS England and NHS Improvement, it offers Q members the chance to develop project ideas and submit bids for up to £30,000 of funding.
Applicants have the opportunity to refine and develop their ideas with the help of the Q community through a collaborative online process.
This year we sought project ideas on the theme ‘Embedding positive changes emerging through new collaborations or partnerships during COVID-19.’
In response to the exceptional circumstances the health and care system is facing, we reassessed how Q Exchange could best support the Q community and the system at this time. We took the decision to award funding to all 30 of the shortlisted Q Exchange 2020 projects.
The next round of Q Exchange will open for ideas in early 2022. Watch this space for more information!
30 teams with collaboratively developed ideas, shortlisted for the Q community online vote
Q community members will vote online to decide which projects will receive funding

My husband had MND ALS, first symptom was weakness in his fingers, one day, we had a dream life with early retirement and then, when we went to find out about the weakness, our whole world almost changed. There are so many things that can be said abt the suffering and frustration of people with ALS, we look back now and realize in many ways how lucky we were to found Multivitamin herbal cure that was able to get rid of my husband ALS disease totally, we had time to enjoy life and above all we all had time to also share this great testimony , many people lose loved ones without closure. I can’t imagine going thru all that you or your family had to live with daily, do not hesitate to contact w w w multivitamincare .org for ALS cure.❤💙💚-

Hi Julia I'm really sorry to hear this, that sounds like a very difficult situation. I'm not aware of any particular work going on around trauma-informed care in Thanet or Kent but will let you know if I hear anything. The Scottish Government have published lots of guidance and support on how to implement trauma-informed care which might be useful to look through: https://www.gov.scot/publications/trauma-informed-practice-toolkit-scotland/ If it's helpful to get in contact with me individually, please email me m.farr@bristol.ac.uk
