Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund: year 1 - monitoring and reporting summary - easy read

Key Findings: Reach of funded projects

Number of awards

The £21 million fund has led to 1842 grants being given to community organisations across Scotland. This has resulted in funding for 1775 projects.

Diversity

A wide range of community mental health projects have been funded including those focused on sport and exercise, nature, social spaces, art and therapy, with the goal of helping people early.

Most of the projects give people access to places and activities that help them come together and communicate. Many of the projects have sprung up from within communities themselves.

Target groups

Some of the target groups got more funding than others in Year 1 of the Fund. In Year 2 we need to think about how to help more of the target groups access the funding.
