Organisations that use the skills of professionally trained artists to focus solely on offering creative opportunities to people living with mental health problems are being invited to apply for grants from the Baring Foundation’s new arts programme.
Mental health is the Foundation’s latest long-term commitment for arts funding, following on from its previous multi-year scheme supporting arts work among older people. This first new funding call is highly targeted at specialist providers, in recognition of the pressures the sector is undergoing due to the Covid-19 crisis, but it will be extended to more potential applicants in due course. £900,000 in small unrestricted grants is available in 2020.
