£200,000 awarded to Isle of Wight organisations providing mental health support
The funding will be used in innovative ways to help Islanders in need of mental health support
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust is pleased to announce it has awarded £193,456 grant funding towards community projects supporting people with their mental health on the Island.
This was made possible after a significant donation in February 2020, by the Richmond Fellowship, passing on funds from The Isle of Wight Association for Mental Health, a former Island charity.
This money was intended for the purpose of assisting people whose lives are affected by poor mental health and the Isle of Wight NHS Trust were keen to ensure that it was distributed in line with this aim.
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust has extended the deadline for applications to the IW NHS Trust Mental Health Charitable Fund to March 19. This follows a short pause on the fund in December to simplify the application process and to allow additional time for applicants impacted by the current Covid lockdown period. The Trust is inviting applications for a share of the £193,456 grant fund from those interested in helping to support the mental health and wellbeing of people living on the Island. This fund comes after a significant donation in February 2020, by the Richmond Fellowship, formerly known as The Isle of Wight Association for Mental Health.
