Mental health organisations across the UK can now apply for grants of up to £15,000 to support work with people experiencing moderate or severe mental health conditions. Priority is given to specialist and user-led groups tackling isolation, stigma and discrimination, and can cover running costs, salaries or project expenses, though one-to-one counselling is excluded. Eligible applicants include small community-based charities and not-for-profits, with income usually under £100,000 locally or £250,000 nationally, excluding projects delivered solely in Greater London. The funding is being made available through the Allen Lane Foundation. Awards may be made as single or multi-year grants, averaging £5,000–£6,000. Applications are open until early December for consideration at the Foundation’s February 2026 trustee meeting. Funding to Support People with Mental Health Issues (UK-excl. Greater London)
