Highland_coms_mentalhealth_fund_Footer.png

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.
