The Scottish Government Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults was established in October 2021. It aims to tackle social isolation, loneliness and mental health inequalities made worse by the ongoing pandemic and the cost of living crisis.
More than 4,700 awards have been made to local projects across Scotland since 2021. A further £15 million has been committed for 2024/25.
The Fund’s aim is to support communities, enabling them to create the conditions for good mental health and wellbeing at a population level whilst ensuring access to a range of support to match their needs.
