Within this funding programme the Bupa UK Foundation is looking to fund practical, community-focused projects that will support and improve people’s mental health at this critical life-stage.
When deciding which projects to fund the Foundation pay particular attention to who will benefit and the difference a project is likely to make to their health and wellbeing. They look at how this will be demonstrated, using simple and realistic measures. They also consider whether a project might deliver a long-term legacy or learning that can be shared more widely.
The Bupa UK Foundation’s purpose is to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives. They fund practical projects to tackle challenges in health and social care and make a direct impact on people’s health and wellbeing.
