Jennifer Brown Research Fund Fife Appeal

The Jennifer Brown Research Fund also supports small
innovative community based schemes led by nurses and midwives.
Recent programmes like the Jennifer Brown Fife Appeal encourage
local health professionals to seek funding for their own community
health projects. One great idea is Granny School: a refresher
course for the first time grandparents who provide so much
informal care and support as their grandchildren grow. This has
been overwhelmed with applicants and we can see its potential
for all areas across the UK. So we are funding some research to
expand on how it works and inviting interest to extend pilot
schemes to new areas. Other schemes generated on the ground
include innovative play schemes, an antenatal care plan for
mums with learning disabilities and a community research project
on postnatal depression; all great ideas that are making a real
difference for families that need them most.
