The Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund – being distributed by Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action – provides funding to small grassroots community groups and organisations, and aims to help communities be healthy and active, be inclusive; empowered, resilient and safe; and to tackle poverty.

Does your group or organisation help those facing hardship through lack of employment, addiction or the rising cost of food?

Do you support people isolated due to where they live, technological or transport issues?

Do the groups you work with have a reduced access to medical services?If your project/initiative/group supports the well-being of our community, please take a look at the funding information in the link below because you could be eligible to apply.

The funding can cover equipment, one-off events, hall hire, training costs, transport and more, and is accessible to all groups no matter how small or inexperienced (even un-constituted groups).

Phase 1 – applications to be in 7 December
Phase 2 – applications to be in 5 January (or until all money has been allocated, whichever is sooner.)
