Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund – Phase 6- changes to the process

Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund (Phase 6) will be open for applications on 3rd August 2026. This year, in response to feedback from the sector from the VANL Annual Conference, Community Solutions will be trialing alternative application processes to make the process more accessible. We will have 7 interview slots for applicants, and organisations need to submit an interview expression of interest form to cmhw@vanl.co.uk by 3rd August 2026 to be considered for this. Please note the interview slots will prioritise organisations with accessibility needs.

Please contact Gordon.watson@vanl.co.uk or marta.szczepanska@vanl.co.uk if you have any questions.

More information about the written application process and the fund will be available on the Community Solutions website on 3rd August 2026. Please make sure you are signed up to all VANL ebulletins to make sure you are notified when the fund launches.
