The Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults Year 4 Fund closes on Friday 6th December.
The overarching aim of the Fund is to promote and develop good mental health and wellbeing while mitigating the impact of distress and mental ill health within the adult population (aged 16 or over) with a particular focus on prevention and early intervention. Key priorities include:
a) Addressing mental health inequalities within ‘at risk’ groups.
b) Tackling social isolation, loneliness, suicide prevention, and poverty and inequality, with a focus on responding to the cost-of-living crisis.
c) Supporting small grassroots community groups and organisations in delivering activities.
d) Fostering connections, building trusted relationships, and revitalising communities.
Applications from small-scale, local projects and those who haven’t previously applied to the fund will be especially welcome. TSI Western Isles would like applicants to consider how projects can result in lasting wellbeing benefits through partnership working, matched funding or increased volunteer participation.
Application Forms and Fund Guidance and a link for a third and final webinar to be held on Tuesday 26th November at 10.00am can be accessed at www.tsiwi.org or by emailing info@ucvo.org.uk
