GMCVO and 10GM have launched the second stage of a grants programme to support adults from communities of identity or experience, based in Greater Manchester, that may struggle to achieve high levels of mental wellbeing.

For this second stage, they have made an adjustment to our eligibility which now allows organisations with an income of up to £50,000, in its most recent full financial year, to apply. 

The communities identified are:

• Adults from BAME communities
• Adults living with long term physical and mental health conditions
• Disabled adults
• Social isolated older people
• Military veterans
• People who are newly or long term unemployed
• Adults who identify as LGBTQI
• Adult carers 

Funded by Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership a total of £175,000 will be given out between May and December 2020. 

Applications should support adults to participate in at least two of the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. 

The second stage of the programme features micro-grants of £100 - £500 and is open until 5pm Monday 31st August.
