Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund Year 6 - Open for Applications

The Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund (Adults) was established in October 2021 to support mental health and wellbeing projects in communities across Scotland. To date £99 million has been distributed to community initiatives supporting mental health in Scotland. Funding for a fifth and sixth year (£15 million each year) was announced in March 2025.

This vital Fund continues to support grassroots community groups and third sector organisations across Scotland to promote and improve the mental health and wellbeing of adults. In recognition of the long-term impact community-based support can make, this year’s Fund will offer the opportunity for 1-year small funding grants of up to £4,000.

In order to make best use of the funds available, SVE and CTSI have agreed to pool together their funding and create one fund that organisations working in Stirling or Clackmannanshire can apply for. Organisations that provide services in both Clackmannanshire and Stirling are eligible to submit only one application. Separate applications for each area will not be accepted and are not eligible for consideration.
