What will we fund?
\nWe are looking for a range of initiatives that will demonstrate the above. This could include sports and physical health activities, working with local artists to promote positive images of mental health through creative arts, song, music, dance, drama etc., speaking out through training volunteer speakers and media volunteers, social inclusion and community involvement initiatives.<\/p>\n
These are only examples and we will consider any initiative that is new and inspiring.<\/p>\n
You can view last year\u2019s awards on our website to give you an idea of the range of activities we have funded.<\/p>\n
Your group should be a community, voluntary, health or social enterprise organisation. If you have an idea that you think could work in your local area, we want to hear from you. Projects should be led by people with lived experience of mental ill-health or those who provide care and support.<\/p>\n
We will fund projects that aim to:
\n\u2022 change public understanding, attitudes and behaviours so that the stigma and discrimination associated with mental ill-health is eliminated.
\n\u2022 enhance the ability of people to challenge stigma and discrimination.
\n\u2022 ensure people with mental health problems and those who support them are valued and included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
