Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund

 

The Fund has now closed for 23/24

 

 

The Scottish Government have renewed funding for 23/24 as part of their Recovery and Renewal Fund to support mental health and well-being in communities across Scotland.

 

Level 2 for grants up to £25,000 has reopened. Local grassroots organisations and community groups are welcome to submit an application which will be assessed by panel in March. We strongly recommend holistic partnership bids which demonstrate clear collaboration between organisations and the communities they serve in sustainably and innovatively addressing the outcomes of the fund. Deadline to submit an application: Friday 8th March at 4pm, application forms available below.

 

Please note Level one applications have now closed.

 

 

The intended outcome of the Fund is to develop a culture of mental wellbeing and prevention within local communities and across Scotland with improved awareness of how we can all stay well and help ourselves and others. The Fund will be distributed by Third Sector Interfaces (TSI’s), like DundeeTSI to community groups and organisations and will open for applications in Dundee on 29 / 09 / 23.

Dundee TSI is a partnership between Dundee Social Enterprise Network and Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action.
