East Sussex Mental Health Connection Development Fund

Following delivery of the East Sussex Men’s Mental Health Training and Skills Project (Men in Mind), Mind in Brighton and Hove are pleased to offer the opportunity to apply for grant funding, as part of a final phase of work commissioned by East Sussex Public Health. The funding will support the development of local initiatives that bring people together and strengthen community connections, aimed at improving the mental health of residents across East Sussex.

The aim of the East Sussex Mental Health Connection Fund is to contribute to improving the mental health of marginalised communities in East Sussex, by distributing £30,000 to peer-led initiatives. We hope to support projects that enable positive changes by growing ideas, developing new projects and strengthening existing activities to support mental health in East Sussex.

These communities include (but are not exclusive to) LGBTQIA+ people, migrants and refugees, and gypsy, roma, traveller communities, and other racialised communities.
