There’s still time for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in York to apply for the The Community Mental Health Transformation Grant Programme 2 funding.

This fund supports projects that improve mental health support in our communities, especially through early help and prevention. Local organisations are already making a difference thanks to the programme 1 funding, delivering practical, people-centred support where it’s needed most.

We are seeking applications from projects where funding is needed for two years up to a maximum of £40,000.

Support is available throughout the application process. Our Grants Team is on hand to support your application, just email the team at grants@yorkcvs.org.uk. Alternatively, you can call 01904 621 133 (extension 1006) – leave a message and we’ll get back to you!
