Expressions of Interest Open for the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund in Edinburgh

10 September 2024 By EVOC Comms

Expressions of interest (EOIs) for the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund are now open (as of Wed 11 Sep 2024).

Groups and organisations in Edinburgh are invited to submit EOIs for projects that support the mental health and wellbeing of people (aged 16+) at a grassroots, community level. These projects should run for 12 to 18 months from April 2025. 

Who can apply?

The Fund is open to groups and organisations with an annual turnover of less than £2million.

Organisations with a turnover of more than £1million will be subject to additional criteria. This is to ensure that organisations are focused and engaged with the communities they plan to support.

How much can we apply for?

To make sure that the Fund can support a breadth of projects across all localities in Edinburgh, we expect most grant awards to be in the region of £10,000 or less, but groups/organisations can apply for a maximum grant of £20,000.

How do we apply?

To make sure your organisation and project match the criteria of the Fund, please take the time to read the guidance, FAQs, info for currently funded groups and organisations using the links below. We have also provided a timeline: 

  • Guidance for 2025-26 
  • FAQs for 2025-26
  • Info for currently funded groups/organisations
  • Timeline for 2025-26

How do we find out more?

Join us for an Online Info Session: Wed 25 Sep, 1.30pm – 2.30pm (Zoom)

Book at Chat with the Funder meeting: Fri 27 Sep or Tue 1 Oct
