5 Ways to Wellbeing Grant

About the grant

Our mental health and wellbeing team is offering grants for up to 6 organisations to deliver the 5 Ways to Wellbeing Framework.

The total fund available is £40,000, with individual grants of £5,000 to £10,000.

The goal is to support long-term mental health and resilience in 1 of 4 priority groups:

  • young people not in employment, education or training (NEET)
  • long-term unemployed
  • carers and caregivers

Projects will run for up to 12 months starting in August 2025, allowing time for setup, delivery, and evaluation. 

If the impact of these projects is well demonstrated, there may be opportunities for further funding in future financial years.
