The Community Foundation for Merseyside is pleased to announce the launch of the next round of the Liverpool ONE Foundation's 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 currently associated with mental health problems.
What is the focus of the fund:
The primary 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. The Foundation is keen to fund projects that help support families and young children to develop methods to equip them with the skills necessary to prevent mental health issues occurring.
Programme 1: Smaller grants to allow organisations to pilot/test new approaches and ideas to build evidence to use to potentially scale up future initiatives
Examples of the sorts of projects that may be funded:
How much is available:
The aim of this programme is to give organisations the freedom to test out new projects without the need to meet strict outcome requirements. We want to hear about the intention of the project and its potential to be used as evidence to hopefully scale up in the future. Even if the end result means that the pilot cannot be developed furtherthe important element is sharing the learning with us and what has been gained from trialing the project. The total budget available for all grants in this programme is in the region of £50,000
