Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults

Highland Third Sector Interface is pleased to be distributing the Highland Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for a third round on behalf of the Scottish Government.
This fund is to support community based initiatives that promote and develop good mental health and wellbeing and/or mitigate and protect against the impact of distress and mental ill health within the adult population.
​
Fund Information
The fund aims to support community-led initiatives that promote and develop good mental health and wellbeing and/or mitigate and protect against the impact of distress and mental ill health for people in Highland who are 16 or over. These should be new projects, or significant development/expansion of existing projects.
​
In the meantime, please begin the process by gathering evidence of community engagement/involvement, which:
a) supports the need(s) you aim to address,
b) supports the solution(s) you propose to offer, and
c) demonstrates how lived experience will shape the delivery of the proposed project.
​
More information is available in the documents below.
How much can I apply for?
The guidance from the Government is that most of the grants will be for less than £10k. This should give you an indication of the scale and scope of the projects that are appropriate. Remember that this is for small-scale, grassroots community activity.
Can I apply for more than £10k?
The panel will have some discretion to award grants above £10K but this is likely in only a few cases. Applicants must contact us as early as possible to discuss your reasons for seeking a higher-than-average grant amount before submitting an application.
