WHAT is the Workplace Health Promotion Grant?

• The Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) Grant is a funding scheme offered by the Health Promotion Board (HPB). The Grant provides financial support to help organisations start and sustain their workplace health programmes.

WHAT is the value of the Grant?

• The maximum grant quantum is $10,000. The organisation must co-fund the WHP project by contributing 50% or more of the project cost.

WHAT can the Grant Fund?

The Grant covers a wide range of WHP services/activities including:

1. Consultancy

2. Health needs assessment

3. Health education activities

4. Sports and physical activities

5. Targeted health interventions

6. Training

7. Purchase of health and fitness equipment

Can the Grant be used to fund sports and physical activities?

• Up to 40% of the Grant can be used to fund sports and physical activities. Organisation are encouraged to use the Grant to fund several initiatives over a period of 6 to 12 months in order to establish and to reinforce the concept of healthy living under the 4 pillars of healthy lifestyle i.e

1. Physical activity2. no smoking3. mental health4. and healthy eating

Type of Basic Health Screening Funded by the Grant?

• Can the Grant be used to fund executive health screening, instead of basic health screening? The Grant funds only basic health screening which includes screening on blood pressure, blood glucose, blood cholesterol and Body Mass Index (BMI).

• These tests are sufficient to screen for the major risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and high blood cholesterol which could lead to stroke, heart problems and even mortality.

funding fruits and vegetables distribution?

• Distributing fruits and vegetables usually does not help people to change their behaviour to adopt a healthy diet. HPB recommends that funds be used for skill-based activities and environmental changes that will have a long-term effect on employees' health. Organisations can contact HPB for consultation on various activities to promote healthy eating at the workplace.
