PaSH smoking cessation for LGBTQ and Ethnic Minorities

Award outcome

Description

Annual contract value: £2,500 Maximum contract value over 3 years: £7,500 Contract duration: 1 year initial period Option to extend: Two 1-year extensions Trafford Council's Health and Wellbeing priorities and duties are delivered by Public Health. Public Health has the statutory responsibility to take such steps as they consider appropriate for improving the health of the people in their area and are mandated to provide or commission certain services including smoking cessation. Smoking rates have declined in Trafford but remain high in certain cohorts. This is due to health inequalities and supporting people in these cohorts requires specialist knowledge and trust. The groups we are proposing to support through this contract are people from ethnic minorities, people with LGBTQ+ identities and people who are living with HIV and AIDS. The PaSH partnership is a collaboration between 3 VCFSE organizations, namely George House Trust, LGBTQ foundation and BHA for Equality. They will support these cohorts with very brief advice for smoking cessation and signpost to services if appropriate. Details of outcomes and monitoring can be found in the project proposal embedded. Refer to specification for further details.
