People in Mind Community Wellbeing Fund Distribution report: September 2024

The People in Mind Community Wellbeing Fund forms part of the broader People in Mind programme coordinated and managed by Cornwall Voluntary Sector Forum (VSF) and funded jointly by Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Public Health.

The five year programme is aimed at supporting innovation and collaboration within the voluntary, community & social enterprise (VCSE) sector to deliver a trauma-informed and whole-family approach to improving the wellbeing of communities in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

A collaborative core service is being delivered by eight key VCSE sector partner organisations and the Community Wellbeing Fund is intended to provide grants to other voluntary organisations and community groups working with people aged 16+ that are most at risk of poor mental health, self-harm, or suicide.

This is the second year of the programme, and this report details the Community Wellbeing Fund’s distribution of £185,450 to community projects. This constituted £140,000 from ICB and Public Health, and £45,450 from the Sedel-Collings Foundation. The Sedel-Collings Foundation generously contributed an additional donation of £7,662 to enable two further projects to be funded.
