Hackney CVS has recently received MATCH funding to embed anti-racist commissioning principles to address a chosen health inequality faced by communities in City and Hackney. The five principles are:

Young Black People’s Mental Wealth Fund

The Young Black People’s Mental Wealth Fund was launched in June 2024. 

Community members, the EPIC Health team and City and Hackney Population Health Hub have been working together to develop data and evidence for alternative ways of commissioning to meet community need. This work tests the co-developed anti-racist commissioning principles.  

The Young Black People’s Mental Wealth fund commissioning process was developed through the anti-racist commissioning MATCH project workshops, which were delivered between September 2023 and March 2024.
