Details

The Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing (CMHW) Fund for Adults aims to support community-based initiatives that promote and develop good mental health and wellbeing and/or mitigate the impact of distress and mental ill health within the adult population (aged 16 or over), with a particular focus on prevention and early intervention. Each TSI administers funding for that region.

Specifically, the Fund aims to:

• Tackle mental health inequalities through supporting a range of ‘at risk’ groups.
• Address priority issues of social isolation and loneliness, suicide prevention and poverty and inequality with a particular emphasis on responding to the cost-of-living crisis and support to those facing socio-economic disadvantage.
• Support small ‘grass roots’ community groups and organisations to deliver such activities.
• Provide opportunities for people to connect with each other, build trusted relationships and revitalise communities.
