Small grants are now available for community mental health organisations and mutual aid groups in Bristol to spend on projects that support local people's mental health and wellbeing. The grants have been funded by Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (BNSSG CCG), through Bristol City Council. 

Funders are particularly keen to support communities most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In your application, you must describe who will benefit directly from the project, the activities you are planning, the costs you need to meet, and how you could make the project sustainable after the grant has been spent. 

Grant amounts are between £1,000-10,000; all money must be spent within 12 months of the grant being awarded.

Applications close at 5pm on Wednesday 21 October 2020.
