  • We are currently closed for new Expressions of Interest, and will re-open on Monday 6th January 2025.

  • Round 4 of the Mental Health Scale Up Fund is now closed to new Expressions of Interest. Funding for this round will be announced in January 2025.

  • We are seeking to produce step change improvement to support available in Surrey for young people’s mental health.  We particularly want to fund projects which demonstrate clear, measurable impact and ability to scale up to reach more beneficiaries, an additional cohort and/or a wider geographic area.

Crisis Funding

Crisis funding is used to bridge a gap in funding, to enable the organisation to develop sustainability and other income sources. A grant will not be awarded if there is no plan in place to improve your sustainability. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that a grant will make a material difference.
