Let's Get Mindful Fund

West Berkshire Council and Greenham Trust have once again collaborated to launch a new fund to help support voluntary and community sector organisations working to enhance mental health and wellbeing across West Berkshire.

A total of £90,000 has been ringfenced for the 'Let's Get Mindful' (LGM) funding scheme and will be allocated to projects on a rolling basis as applications are approved.

The LGM fund is to enable not-for-profit groups to implement meaningful and impactful projects that support people with mental health challenges. The fund also ensures that organisations have access to financial resources to expand their work, offer additional support, purchase necessary equipment, or launch new initiatives.

Where possible, the fund will focus on areas in West Berkshire that are considered most in need and projects that support people that are considered vulnerable and/or isolated.

Councillor Patrick Clark, West Berkshire's Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, says,

"We're delighted to be working with Greenham Trust on this excellent project. The support the Let's Get Mindful fund offers can bring about great changes in people's lives and give a financial boost in areas and initiatives that need it most."

Chris Boulton, Chief Executive, Greenham Trust, added,

"We are proud to collaborate with West Berkshire Council on the 'Let's Get Mindful' fund. This initiative provides a vital opportunity for local charities and community groups to access the resources they need to make a transformational impact on people's lives. By offering grants, we hope to support the organisations working tirelessly to improve the quality of life for those facing mental health challenges in our community."

An expert panel will review and approve application submissions on a rolling basis. More details about the fund and how to apply can be viewed on:
