Kent and Medway Better Mental Health and Wellbeing Community Fund
This funding is closed to new applications.
The Kent and Medway Better Mental Health and Wellbeing Community Fund is designed to test innovative ideas, develop evidence of what works and support grassroots projects to continue to support their communities.
We know that in the right hands a little can go a long way, so we want your ideas about how to improve the mental health and wellbeing of residents across Kent and Medway.
Applicants can bid for up to £15,000. Organisations bidding for over £5,000 will be required to provide a 3 month update on progress.
Who can apply
Projects must be completed by the end of March 2024 and you will be expected to take part in a simple project evaluation.
