Resources to help communities run programmes between now and the end of January 2024 with financial assistance of up to £1000. We will support proposals that address mental health and emotional wellbeing and tackle the contributing factors of self-harm and suicide. We particularly welcome smaller organisations that don’t have access to other funding or the organisational structure to deliver larger programmes. There is limited funding available.
We would like to support your group to reach out locally and are asking for you to identify what is needed. We are here to assist with planning and will consider funding local initiatives that improve morale and help people feel more resilient, supported and respected . The project budget has to be shared widely across all communities and we ask you to plan prudently. Your key role will be to identify need/s, suggest project ideas, get people to take part and to get their feedback afterwards.
