Funding for Charities Working in Mental Health

The Wolfson Foundation provides funding for charities working in mental health, with grants awarded towards capital projects. The program emphasizes projects which focus on training, employment and supported housing for people with mental health challenges. Projects must involve capital costs of at least £50,000 and have a shortfall in capital funding of at least £25,000. The Foundation seeks to support projects that increase access to services for new and existing users, improve the quality and range of services, or enhance the future sustainability of the organization. Eligible applicants include registered charities and local authorities that have at least a 'Good' rating from regulators such as CQC or Ofsted. The funding supports new buildings, refurbishment work, and equipment purchases.
