Want to run a project to challenge stigma and discrimination in your community and beyond?
The Time to Change grants fund could support you to do this. The Grants will fund projects that bring people with and without mental health problems together and create opportunities for them to have meaningful conversations.
Projects must be led by people with experience of mental health problems. This means that people with first-hand experience take a lead at all levels and stages, from designing the project, to managing and evaluating the project.
To be eligible groups must:
• be an England based not-for-profit constituted group or organisation or an England based partnership of individual(s), groups and/or organisations with a not-for-profit constituted group or organisation that can hold and administer the funds
• involve people with personal experience of mental health problems in the design, delivery and management of the project
• reach out to other people who haven’t experienced mental health problems and engage them in meaningful conversations about mental health problems
• improve public attitudes and behaviour towards people with mental health problems
• show that your not-for-profit constituted group or organisation has and will provide the skills and resources to: plan, develop and manage the project, develop a realistic timeframe, and deliver activity against the outcomes within that timeframe?
