Current Funding Priority: Innovative Approaches to Supporting Mental Health
& Wellbeing

While our mission encompasses four core pillars, our current Grants Programme is specifically focused on Mental Health & Wellbeing.

We are looking to fund projects that take a fresh or creative approach to supporting mental health and wellbeing across our communities. While mental health affects people of all ages and backgrounds, we are especially interested in approaches that reach people who may not otherwise be able to access traditional support services.
