If your group/organisation currently holds a Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund grant, we have already been in touch by email to let you know what to expect.
The fund in Edinburgh has offered continuation funding for an existing project up to a maximum of three years. This means if your project was first funded in Year 2 (Delivering in 2023-24), you will have to go through the full application process and submit a new application if you would like to continue your existing project or propose a new project.
For those funded from Year 3 (Delivering in 2024-25), you have the option to apply for one more year of continuation funding for the same project.
For those funded from Year 4 (Delivering 2025-26), you have the option to apply for continuation funding for the same project for one or two years. The multi-year funding element enables you to apply to run two more years of the existing project.
All continuation funding will receive a 5% uplift.
If you would like to deliver a different project beginning in April 2026 or require more than the 5% annual grant uplift (up to £20,000 per new application), you will need to submit an expression of interest and complete the full process.
