Want to run a project to challenge stigma and discrimination in your community and beyond?

The Time to Change grants fund could support you to do this. The Grants will fund projects that bring people with and without mental health problems together and create opportunities for them to have meaningful conversations.

Projects must be led by people with experience of mental health problems. This means that people with first-hand experience take a lead at all levels and stages, from designing the project, to managing and evaluating the project.
