What FundingLens helps you do

Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.

01

Define whether the project addresses health inequalities, prevention, community connection, long-term condition support, wellbeing, loneliness or service access.

02

Check applicant type, beneficiary group, safeguarding, clinical or non-clinical scope, referral pathways, evaluation and delivery partners.

03

Record health outcome evidence without turning a wellbeing activity into a clinical claim the organisation cannot support.

Readiness checks

  • Health or wellbeing outcome is specific and proportionate.
  • Applicant type and beneficiary group match the source.
  • Safeguarding, referral and clinical-scope caveats are assigned.
  • Evidence plan and delivery partners are realistic.
  • Community benefit and health inequality rationale are clear.

Eligibility caveats

  • Not every wellbeing project is a clinical health intervention.
  • Some health funding is restricted to registered charities, smaller charities or local delivery.
  • FundingLens does not provide medical, clinical or legal advice.
