Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Programme- UK

Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity

The Rayne Foundation is pleased to announce the Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Program.

Priority Areas

• They prioritise specific area of work
  • Children and young people’s improved mental health and wellbeing
    • They prioritise work that:
      • Supports early childhood (0-5 years including the perinatal period) with family/carer interventions that aim to reduce the impact of early childhood trauma.
      • Supports care experienced children and young people, those on the edge of care, or leaving care, with interventions that prioritise improved mental health and wellbeing.

Funding Information

• The Rayne Foundation funds project and salary costs of usually £10,000 to £30,000 per year for up to three years.

Eligibility Criteria

• They fund work that could change the way issues are tackled in the society and which could have lessons for others beyond the funded organisation. They want to support the people and organisations that are best placed to do this. They are open to receiving Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from voluntary, statutory, and for-profit organisations.
• They need to understand why the funding is needed, how the funding will be used to unlock and overcome barriers, and that the applicant organisation is committing funding and/or support in kind from its own resources proportionate to its capacity.
• Statutory organisations need to consider how a grant from them will enable transformation over and above delivering statutory obligations. For-profit organisations will need to show that charitable funding is necessary to enable transformative change. They expect statutory and for-profit organisations that receive the funding to work collaboratively with the voluntary sector.

Ineligibility Criteria

• They will not consider applications:
  • For day-to-day running costs of local organisations or buildings
  • For capital, equipment or vehicle appeal
  • For medical research
  • Exclusively focussed on campaigning and lobbying work
  • For retrospective funding
  • For endowments
  • For individual use
