Supporting Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Across Inverclyde
We’re proud to announce the projects funded through Years 5 and 6 of the Inverclyde Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults.
Delivered locally on behalf of the Scottish Government, the Fund supports community-led approaches that promote mental health and wellbeing across Inverclyde. It focuses on prevention and early intervention, reducing isolation, and addressing inequalities that impact people’s wellbeing.
This year, 32 projects have been recommended for funding. Awards include multi-year grants to support longer-term programmes, one-year grants for targeted local activity, and several reduced grants made possible through additional funding.
Successful organisations include Compassionate Inverclyde, RIG Arts, Parklea Branching Out, Mind Mosaic, Homestart Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, Scottish Families Affected by Drugs and Alcohol, Morton in the Community, Cycling Without Age, Your Voice, Safe Harbour, and others working across a wide range of community priorities.
Together, these projects will deliver vital support in areas such as suicide prevention, social connection, poverty and inequality, disability inclusion, bereavement support, and wider wellbeing.
A full list of funded organisations is available below.
