The £180,000 Psychological Support Fund was created by the NHS in North Cumbria and Cumbria County Council. It has supported bids which demonstrate a collaborative approach to tackle the impact of anxiety, isolation, and bereavement, which have become more challenging during the outbreak. Andy Beeforth, it’s chief executive, said: “The speed, agility and responsiveness of local charitable organisations in responding to issues exacerbated by the pandemic has been inspirational. “But the challenge facing them, and communities they serve, is immense. Thanks to this partnership between the foundation, the NHS and Cumbria County Council, we have been able to award vital grants to projects that are really trying to improve mental health for people in their local communities.”
