Time to Change Grants

The Time to Change grants fund will distribute £2.7 million to approximately 75 projects across England from April 2012 to March 2015.

This is the first time that Time to Change has awarded grants of this scale and they are looking forward to supporting local communities to actively challenge stigma and discrimination in innovative ways.

The fund will support projects which....

• Change public attitudes and behaviour by bringing together people who have experienced mental health problems with those who have not

• Engage the public or local communities in meaningful conversations about mental health. This could be through events, training, arts, sports - be creative!

• Are led throughout by people with lived experience of mental health problems - grants can only be awarded to constituted groups or organisations, but we will only fund projects which have people with experience of mental health problems in lead roles.

25% of the grants fund will be allocated to projects run by, and working with people from BME communities, and 20% are for projects working with children and young people.

The first round of applications will open soon. For more information visit the the Time to Change website or email Time to Change.
