The Suffolk Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Equity in Mind Fund.
This fund has been provided by Ipswich and East Suffolk and West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Groups to further the ambition to engage with statutory services and the voluntary sector in supporting those living with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) and those living with more serious mental illnesses to live well in their community.
The programme is looking for seamless methods of working in the community that support people to live the best life they can taking into consideration their poor mental health.
The programme will be showcased throughout the Foundation’s work and reporting will be on a regular basis, along with the opportunity to share experiences and learning more widely through events and seminars.
