Introduction
PATH was responsible for supporting the dissemination of a 3-year national Support Fund of £900,000, for projects whose start/end dates fell between 2003-07.
The funds were used primarily to enable local pilot initiatives - eleven in all - 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 and mental health and disability.
PATH's ultimate aim is to promote and assist with the identification and dissemination of good practice emanating from the funded projects.
