Cornwall Women’s Fund

2024 Grant Applications are NOW OPEN!

In 2021, a team from Oxford University undertook in-depth research into the needs of women and girls across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. They considered existing research where it was available and interviewed charity and community leaders, and women from across the county to get a true picture of what really mattered to them and which areas it was difficult to find funding for.

One of the 4 key areas in their report “Understanding what matters to women and girls in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly” was women and girls mental health, identifying a particular lack of support for those accessing perinatal mental health services.

We announced our 2024 focus, chosen by members, for grants – Women and Girls Mental Health – with a particular interest in perinatal mental health. Applications are now open via the Cornwall Community Foundation so make sure you apply by the deadline of 4th June 2024.
