A new grants fund focused on supporting VCS mental health providers in England to respond to an anticipated increase in need as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The funding is available for registered charities to either:
- Scale up existing activity – for example, your organisation may manage a helpline or a forum that is experiencing an unprecedented amount of requests
- Adapt existing activity – for example, you may have traditionally delivered all of your services in-person and now want to adapt them in order to continue meeting the needs of existing, or new, service users
- Introduce new activity – You may want to introduce a new service that will meet the specific needs of your service users that arise due, in part, to the coronavirus crisis
Two sizes of grants are available:
Service Delivery Grants
- Large grants: up to £50,000
- Small grants: up to £20,000. The minimum grant available is £5,000
Organisations can only apply for one grant, regardless of grant size
Funding is available for mental health voluntary sector organisations based in
England.
