The Community Foundation for Merseyside is pleased to announce the launch of the next round of the Liverpool ONE Foundations Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Well-being funding programme.
The Liverpool ONE Foundation’s aspiration is to achieve a decrease in the number of children and young people up to 25 years of age suffering with mental health problems in Merseyside and they will be looking to support projects that decrease the number of children and young people suffering with mental health problems, raise awareness of mental health issues or remove the stigma sometimes associated with mental health problems.
What is the focus of the fund:
Funding will be offered to those organisations that have a core purpose and stated primary charitable objects related to supporting mental health.
The focus of all projects should be on improving children and young people’s mental health and well-being and preventing the development of mental health problems. Children and young people should always be primary beneficiaries of projects/services but the Foundation is keen to consider projects that in addition help support families and young children to develop methods to equip them with the skills necessary to prevent mental health issues occurring.
