Funding is being made available to support drop-in hubs that offer mental health interventions to young people aged 11-25 across the UK.

The £1.5 million fund aims to support young people’s early support hubs in maintaining existing services, strengthening relationships with clinical partners, or adding new services.

The opportunity is open to UK-registered charities or CICs with an annual income of over £1 million and at least three years of experience delivering a drop-in hub.

The Trust anticipates awarding three or four grants of between £250,000 to £500,000 each for up to 24 months.

Eligible costs include salaries, evaluation work, and training.

A recording of a webinar held in August is available to view here and an FAQ sheet can be downloaded from the Trust’s website (Who Can Apply section).

The deadline for first-stage applications is 2pm on 9 September 2024.

Invitations to second stage will be made by the end of September with a deadline of 2pm on Monday 21 October 2024.
