Suicide Prevention Grants

The Suicide Prevention Small Grants Scheme is funded by Bradford Council Public Health to improve support and positive wellbeing of Bradford citizens. The scheme will fund new or emerging areas of work tailored towards adults aged 18 and over. 

The aim is to support projects that reflect key priorities of the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership Suicide Prevention Plan and the Bradford District Suicide Prevention Plan.

Applications are invited from projects that address the following priorities:

1: Reduce the risk of suicide in key high-risk groups

2: Tailor approaches to improve mental health and wellbeing in specific groups

3: Improve Self Harm support interventions

 

The following grants are available:

  1. Up to £20,000 – 1 to 2 project grants: direct suicide prevention support groups for men (group and support might not be titled ‘suicide support’ but they must be clearly targeted. People who reach very low points in their life often reach for things that provide emotional relief and that make them feel good). Must include district wide communications plan by recipients.
  2. Up to £20,000 – 1 to 2 project grants: self-harm intervention and support. Must include district wide communications plan by recipients (may include children as the beneficiary or focus).
  3. Up to £20,000 – 1 to 2 project grants: men struggling to have healthy relationships (relationship skills and support, not individual counselling). Must include district wide communications plan by recipients.

The full budget for the suicide prevention grants is £60,000, this means that between 3-6 projects could be successful. If you choose to make a larger application, please consider also including a budget for the smaller amount of £10,000 to increase your chances of success.

The grant is open to community groups, registered charities, voluntary and community organisations and social enterprises based in or working across Bradford District.

Applications with supporting documentation must be submitted by 12noon on Friday 13th of January 2023.
