Strengthening Infrastructure Support to Ethnic Communities in Greater Manchester

Hello all, 

I'm contacting to inform you of a 'Meet the Funder' webinar scheduled for Wednesday next week, hosted by the Greater Manchester Black Asian & Minority Ethnic Network. 

The session will take place on Zoom, 1-2pm on Wednesday 11th August next week. 

The session is with The Pilgrim Trust, who are delighted to announce £5m in funding over five years to help improve the mental health of young women (16-25) in the UK.

The Young Women and Mental Health PLUS fund aims to increase young women’s access to high quality, age and gender specific mental health services. 

The Trust is making available grants of £60,000 to £90,000 spread across three years and grantees will form part of a learning cohort to share best practice. In its first year, which is seen as a pilot, the programme is open to charities working in Greater Manchester and Northern Ireland. 

The Pilgrim Trust's Director, Sue, and Grants Manager, Sonja, will be ready to meet you and share:

• Background and aims of the new funding programme
• Who can apply and what we want to fund
• How the application process works

To register for the session, please follow this link. 

Best wishes
