GloW Community Grants

Please note: All funding over the three year period has been allocated, but any further updates will be posted on this website.

 

What is it?

Funded under the NHS England and NHS Improvement Suicide Prevention Transformation programme, the GloW Community Grants invests in community based and led activities that address the things that contribute to our mental wellbeing and help improve our mental health e.g. activities that promote good mental health and wellbeing, reduce isolation, and support the prevention of suicide and self harm in those most likely to be affected.  Launched on 1 October 2020, the programme will run for three years and will see a total of £150,000 provided to community projects over a three year period.
