78% of people say the cost of living crisis is impacting mental health – worse for those with existing mental health problems. The Mental Health Match Fund is designed specifically for charities 
improving mental health as part of their work. The campaign will run around Mental Health Awareness Week, from 15-22 May.
Charity eligibility criteria:
