Inverclyde’s Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund is now in its fifth year and we will formally launch the programme by 22 August 2025.

Managed by CVS Inverclyde, grants will support community groups and organisations delivering services in Inverclyde, that promote and develop good mental health and wellbeing and/or mitigate and protect against the impact of distress and mental ill health. The Fund is now part of the Fairer Funding Pilot which means that for the first time funding for 2 years can be awarded.

As for previous funding rounds a range of capacity building sessions will be available to provide information on the Fund, as well as support to help organisations new to funding or the Fund to develop strong applications. .
