Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults 2024/25

Applications open at 12 Noon on the 5th of August 2024

The Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults was established in October 2021. To date, around £51 million has been distributed across Scotland to community initiatives supporting mental health and wellbeing. Over the last three years, residents of East Renfrewshire have benefited from £710,287.34 awarded to 61 groups and organisations. It has been announced that a further £15 million has been awarded for the fourth year of funding (2024 – 2025).  

Here, in East Renfrewshire, this fund is being distributed via Voluntary Action East Renfrewshire SCIO (VAER), in partnership with our local Integrated Joint Board (IJB), Community Planning Partnership (CPP) and community organisations through our Wellbeing Network. 

This fund’s ambition is to support initiatives promoting mental health and well-being at a small-scale, grassroots, community level. It should be accessible to all groups, no matter how small or inexperienced they are. It can support both new and existing groups or projects. These do not have to have mental health and wellbeing as their main focus, but the application does have to clearly demonstrate how your project will benefit the mental wellbeing of people (aged 16 or over) in their community. 

We require applicants to read and fully understand both the Funding Criteria and the Application Guidance before applying. Through reading this, applicants can find useful information on what can and cannot be funded, along with information on funding deadlines and grant sizes.   

Please note a strict 5 PM cut-off is observed on the date of the deadline.
