Mind Cymru – Coronavirus Mental Health Response Fund – Wales

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, demand for mental health services is increasing. Voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations have a vital role working alongside our NHS colleagues to support anyone who has a mental health problem.

Thanks to £270,000 support from Comic Relief and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the Coronavirus Mental Health Response Fund – Wales has been established. Its purpose is to help mental health VCS organisations based in Wales continue to provide services – or provide additional support. Organisations can apply for grants of up to £50,000 for projects lasting up to 31 March 2021, with £5,000 being the smallest grant available.

Mind is administering the fund in partnership with the Mental Health Consortia. More information about the members of the Mental Health Consortia is available at
