The funding will be used to develop a social impact bond to deliver a Type 2 diabetes prevention programme, with lifestyle and exercise classes, followed up by monthly maintenance sessions. This will be initially delivered in the North East, North West and South East. Proposed commissioners are Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Merton CCG and Flyde and Wyre CCG. The grant will fund financial modelling, advice on regulatory and control environment, service development and other support.
