The Peoples Health Trust has launched a new Nature for Health grants programme. The programme is aimed at supporting local community initiatives that promote health and wellbeing through nature-based activities.
Eligible organisations can apply for grants of £20,000 to £40,000 for activities lasting 2 years.
Applicants are asked to secure match funding of at least 25% of the grant value.
Funded activity should focus on working with people who are experiencing mental health problems (for example anxiety, panic attacks, depression, loneliness) and:
- Are experiencing socio-economic disadvantage;
- Are experiencing marginalisation and discrimination (for example, people from racialised communities, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, excluded young people and those struggling to attend school (aged 11-18)
- Or are otherwise less likely to access support (for example, men of all ages).
The fund will close on Wednesday 20 March at 1pm.
