The Men’s Health Community Fund is a partnership between the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), Movember, and People’s Health Trust. It has a budget of £6.3million to support community-based men’s health across England.
This fund is designed for voluntary and community sector organisations in England that are already doing meaningful work with men and that want to strengthen, develop and share learning about what makes their work effective.
The aim is to provide comprehensive coverage of the different points at which men’s health risks emerge and escalate: there are therefore three different funds each with a distinct focus and target group – but with the overarching goal of supporting men to prioritise their mental and physical wellbeing and seek help when needed.
- DHSC – grants of between £75,000 and £125,000 for programmes supporting:
– men aged 35 to 59 who are unemployed, economically inactive or facing economic insecurity
– men aged 60+ experiencing key life transitions (eg. retirement, bereavement, relationship breakdown, caring responsibilities etc.) - Movember – grants of between £150,000 and £300,000 for programmes supporting young men aged 16–35. Apply via the Movember website.
- People’s Health Trust – for programmes supporting men working in industry. Not yet open to applications.
The fund is open to voluntary and community organisations including charities, CIOs, CICs, CBSs, and constituted voluntary groups and organisations.
