Bupa UK Foundation funding for Mid-life Mental Health projects and initiatives. Closing date for Expressions of Interest - Friday 4 September 2015

The theme of their first funding programme is Mid-Life Mental Health

The Bupa UK Foundation welcomes expressions of interest from practical projects or initiatives which will have a direct impact on people's health and wellbeing, fall clearly into theme of mid-life mental health, and focus one of the following priority areas:

• Prevention - equipping people with the skills they need to monitor, maintain and improve their own mental health.

• Early intervention - enabling people to access effective support directly and as soon as they become aware of their needs.

• Integration - addressing the link between physical and mental health.

The Bupa UK Foundation expects to make around 20 grants split across the following levels:

• Larger grants - over £50,000. For projects that have a broad reach and the potential to deliver a sustained impact.
   
• Medium grants - up to £50,000. For distinct one-off projects, which might include pilots of new models of care or initiatives designed to benefit clearly defined groups.

• Small grants - up to £10,000. For smaller projects delivered at local level to directly benefit a specific group.

It is expected that projects receiving funding are likely to be delivered within 12 to 18 months.
