Current Grants List

Open

2 year project proposals - Only organisations that have an income under £1m and are already delivering in Suffolk can apply to this fund.

£50,000 over 2 years split equally

This fund has been created with the intention of enabling VCSE organisations to work alongside one another, as well as with statutory health providers, to bring a localised community-based approach to those with severe mental health impairments (SMI). The fund will prioritise organisations who are able to adapt their projects to the age, ethnicity, deprivation and distance from traditional services of their participants.

The fund will support projects over a two-year period, with maximum grants over the period of £50,000. Funded projects must operate solely in the areas covered by the Ipswich & East Suffolk and West Suffolk CCG’s. (This fund is not available for projects in the Waveney area).

All applications will need to be outcome based with evidence of success aligned to reducing health inequalities (as detailed in the full criteria).  A specific outcome tool will need to be identified and used from the outset and guidance on this can be provided where necessary.

Referrals to projects could be received from healthcare professionals, social prescribing networks, Police and other blue light services.

Projects should seek to focus their support on BAME communities and/or older people ensuring that consideration is given to other beneficiary groups.

In terms of mental health needs, projects should support individuals with any of the following: psychosis, eating disorders, complex emotional needs (including Personality Disorders), bipolar disorder and severe depression. Additional priority will be given to projects addressing more than of these areas of need.
