- Community and citizenship.
- Economy and enterprise.
- Education and skills.
- Environment and resources.
- Governance and public provision.
- Health and wellbeing.
- Science and technology.
Our current annual themes are:
- Arts and communities.
- Caring for our natural environment.
- Children and young people with experience of care.
- Climate change.
- Education in schools.
- Palliative and end of life care.
- Physical activity for healthier lives.
- Resilient economies and communities.
- Rural communities.
- Suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
- Tech for all.
If you are interested in applying for a Fellowship but your project doesn’t fit into any of our annual themes, you are welcome to apply within our Open theme provided that it fits our general criteria.
