New grant programme launched to raise awareness of the HPV vaccine

Would you like to run an event or activity to help increase HPV vaccine awareness in your local community? If so, funding is available to you.

RM Partners is launching a grant programme offering up to £500 to local community and voluntary groups working in North West and South West London.

The funding is to support hosting an event or activity for your local community and spreading awareness of the benefits of the HPV vaccine for preventing cervical cancer and other cancers associated with high-risk HPV.

This programme is part of our cancer prevention strategy to increase HPV vaccine uptake in eligible school age children (from school year 8 and 9), girls up to age 25, and boys born after 1 September 2006, who have not been previously vaccinated.

The funding you receive can be used to help cover costs of an activity you have already planned for February to April 2025. Alternatively, you could plan a new event or activity. We are open to ideas about what format this might take.

In order for us to offer funding, the event or activity will need to provide an opportunity to share information about the HPV vaccine and to raise awareness amongst those eligible to receive it, or parents/carers who might need to consent to somebody receiving the vaccine (e.g. via school). RM Partners will provide you with the tools to do this by hosting an online training session and supplying printed/online awareness materials.
