Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many applications to the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund it has received, since the additional funding of £15 million was allocated in April 2023 to date, and how many of any such applications have been successful.
Answer
Local application processes for the 2023-24 funding have not yet commenced.
National Fund Guidance and grant letters to Third Sector Interfaces (TSIs) will be issued by the end of June and will provide a date by which local application processes need to have commenced.
As set out in my reply to S6W-17501 on 12 May 2023, the timing of local fund processes, including award decisions, will vary across the country, with each TSI led partnership agreeing their own process and timetable.
Information on how to apply for this year’s funding will be shared, in due course, on the TSI Scotland website . All TSIs will be required to have distributed funding by 31 March 2024.
