Woodspring Locality Small Grants
What is the Woodspring Locality Grants Scheme?
This grant scheme was set up by the Woodspring Locality and managed on their behalf by VANS. The funding applied for supports community-based organisations and groups responding to adult mental health needs via peer support in the Woodspring area.
Small grants focussing on mental health are vital in fostering innovation and accessibility. These grants will allow smaller organisations and grassroots initiatives to develop creative programs and support systems that might not be funded through traditional routes. The grants will provide the opportunity to highlight and demonstrate what our sector can bring through a range of approaches to mental health, catering for specific needs within communities and piloting new methods that can improve the overall landscape of mental health services. This is round one of two rounds of funding opportunities.
Applications can be made for funding up to £1000 or up to £3000 for larger projects.
