PATH funded projects

PATH was responsible for supporting the dissemination of a three-year national Support Fund of £900,000 for projects whose start/end dates fell between 2003-08.   The funds were used primarily to enable eleven local pilot initiatives to deliver work on tobacco, which aimed to reduce the proportion of pregnant women and people faced with inequalities who smoke.

To help PATH achieve its wider objectives, the projects undertook work supporting smoking cessation, prevention or education - or a combination of these approaches - amongst the target groups. Priority groups targeted by the Support Fund were older adults, ethnic minority groups, pregnancy, low income, mental health and disability.
 
This section of the website will provide you with:
  • access to the Good Practice Guidance (issued in 2010), which distilled all the learning from funded projects which we had overseen
  • access to executive summaries, final project reports, project recommendations, and background to the external evaluation on the project monitoring and evaluation page
  • details of what happened to projects once funding had ended - details in the PATH Newsletter April 2008 (8 pages, 743Kb pdf)
  • links to further pieces of work related to the Tobacco and Inequalities priority groups - older adults, mental health, black and minority ethnic communities.
