Health and Social Care Scotland Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE) are pleased to announce that the Gambling Harm and Mental Health Fund is open to applications! Their Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm Programme (ScotRGH) are working with The Scottish Government’s Preventing Poor Mental Health and Suicide Unit in the Mental Health and Social Care and National Care Service Directorate to support community-based activity to advance work on mental health and gambling harms, including a focus on suicide.
The main purpose of this fund, available for third sector and community organisations, is to understand the impact of gambling harms on specific disadvantaged, marginalised, and minoritised communities and how this intersects with wider social, economic, and environmental factors.
The Gambling Harm and Mental Health Fund is open for applications from Thursday 2 July 2026 at 9AM until Friday 14 August at 5PM. Apply here: smfscotland.grantplatform.com
ScotRGH are hosting online Q&A sessions with applicants in July about this fund. They also have a Guidance Document available to support applicants.
