Cameron Grant Memorial Trust - Mental Health Charity Focussed On Young People

Cameron Grant Memorial Trust is delighted to announce Cameron Grants, a new programme to support innovation in mental health.

The need for mental health support has never been greater and will be driven higher by this pandemic.  The programme is centred on the idea of innovation – trying things that are new, progressive and explore new ways of doing things. Innovation, by its very nature does not always succeed. The programme is open to discussing a change of focus throughout any project as learnings arise, and will encourage open and positive dialogue on things that have not been as successful as hoped so we can benefit from the project’s learning overall.

Applications for a grant of between £100 & £2,500 will be considered. The grant can be used to trial a new service, create an asset, a technology, a performance, fund research, or otherwise experiment in any way that supports the treatment mental health. The emphasis will be on innovation – using new methods, channels, technology, ideas or approaches to reach out and effect change. Ideas should typically fit into one of the following categories:

• Destigmatising Mental Health
• Reducing Barriers to Mental Health Care
• Improving Mental Well Being

Note the grants are for project-based activities that demonstrate clear innovation. They will not be made to fund ongoing operational expenses or salaries.
