Children and Young People's Mental Health and Wellbeing

The Rayne Foundation's Children and Young People's Mental Health and Wellbeing programme supports projects that offer mental health and wellbeing support to children and young people and their families/carers in challenging circumstances where there is a lack of help. The programme specifically focuses on children and young people who are care experienced, on the edge of care, or leaving care, with interventions that prioritise improved mental health and well-being. Over the past five years, the Foundation has allocated over £3.2 million towards 72 projects in this area. The Foundation funds work that is based on different thinking and enables innovation, has potential for wider application beyond the funded proposal, and is informed by direct delivery with clear positive impact on people's lives. This programme is currently closed but has funded a wide range of interventions, with future funding focusing on embedding good practice and disseminating learning from funded work.
