About the fund
The Women’s Mental Health Fund is a new fund for 2025/26. The priorities of this fund (see below) have been established by the Women’s Mental Health Working Group, a subset of the Suicide Prevention Partnership.
The Women’s Mental Health Fund is open to voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) groups and organisations, which are full members of Salford CVS.
Groups can apply for a maximum of £3,500 to deliver projects that support women’s mental health. The amount of funding applied for should be proportional to the size of your group or organisation and project.
