The scheme is specifically looking to reach young people with current mental health problems such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, hearing voices, self harm, eating disorders or suicidal feelings.
They aim to support work with young people aged 11-25 with current mental health problem through:
· Services for young people
· Training
Your work will need to deliver one or more of the following outcomes:
· Increased access to appropriate services for young people with mental health problems, resulting in improved mental health
· A greater understanding and specialist skill base amongst people who work with young people with mental health needs.
They do not support work seeking to improve young people’s general wellbeing, as they target funds towards those with recognised mental health problems with a need for specialist support.
· You can apply for some or all of your project costs, but we encourage you to get some of your funding from other sources if you can. We will not generally fund the full costs of applications made by charities with an annual income of over £10m. Our grants usually vary between £25,000 and £40,000 per year for a maximum of three years and rarely exceed this upper limit.
