Maudsley Charity’s ‘Community and Connection’ grants – applications close 12 May 2021
Are you aware of the Maudsley Charity’s grants programme ‘Community and Connection’? It will provide funding for projects that meet the criteria and make a positive contribution to the lives of those who have experienced or who are currently experiencing mental illness. The organisations or community groups applying will need to need to work primarily in Southwark, Lambeth, Lewisham or Croydon.
This fund has particular focus on projects working with and for the benefit of people who are, or have been, severely unwell and who are likely to have experienced additional social or economic disadvantage.
They are particularly interested in hearing from projects that can demonstrate a meaningful commitment to diversity and inclusion, and which reach and empower people to play an active role in their own wellbeing and recovery.
Proposed projects should go over and above what might be provided through NHS funding. The average grant awarded is £20-30K and applications close on 12th May, 2021.
How to apply

a rapid independent investigation was commissioned by Croydon Council, with a report promised within two weeks.
The report is available but has not been published, withholding the findings from the public and the residents directly affected, using purdah (pre-election period) as the reason for doing so.
The Regina Road Residents Support Group, representing affected residents in 57 flats, who feel ignored and refer to being left in limbo, has produced an open letter to the Council Leader which you can read below.
