Grants available for action on mental health & racial justice

The Synergi Small Grants Fund is open for applications until 29 January. The Fund will offer grants of £2,000-£3,000 to groups led by and for Black people and people of colour to take action on mental health and racial justice.

Grants will be awarded by the end of March 2023 and must be spent within 12 months.

Examples of the actions the Fund hopes to support include:

Collective care – such as providing food and essentials parcels, writing to incarcerated community members, creating opportunities for people to come together and support each other using shared experiences as in peer support groups, mutual aid, creative practices like dance or singing, or covering the costs of accessing therapy or other healing practices.

Campaigning and change-making – this could include protest, work to create change on a local or national level, sharing information and skills such as community organising training, or creating resources for members of a community to better advocate for themselves.

All of the actions should be led by, and for the benefit of, Black people and people of colour with experience of mental ill-health, distress or trauma.

More information on eligibility criteria and how to apply is available on the Synergi site.
