Mental Health Self-Care Funding Programme

The programme was launched on 11th December 2017 and the deadline has now been extended to 9am Monday 22nd January 2018. 

WLCCG (NHS West London Clinical Commissioning Group) has made available one-off funding of £150,000 for a range of mental health self-care activities. These activities must be aligned to Community Living Well, a network of services based in the community to support people with stable long-term mental health needs supported by primary care. New self-care activities will extend the range of options available to people and support making the best use of community mental health resources.

If you are a charity, voluntary organisation or social enterprise and have an idea for an innovative project you would like to test, or you would like to expand an existing service, this could be the funding for you. You can learn more and apply by visiting this page on the KCSC website
