78% of people say the cost of living crisis is impacting mental health – worse for those with existing mental health problems. Our Mental Health Match Fund is designed specifically for charities improving mental health as part of their work. The campaign will run around Mental Health Awareness Week, from 15th- 22nd May.
At a time when the success of charities is more important than ever, we would love your help in sharing the application opportunity with your networks. Applications are open now until Friday, March 24th, 2023.
