BSW Community Grants Programme

New community grants fund for BSW: open from 10 November

This Autumn, the BSW Community Grants Fund is launching – a brand-new fund to help grassroots community groups make a real difference to people’s mental health.

Run by the voluntary sector Mental Health and Wellbeing Partnership, and funded by

the BSW Integrated Care Board, the grants will focus on supporting small projects,

especially those working with marginalised communities across Bath, North-East

Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire.

Groups can apply for grants of £2,000–£5,000, plus there’s a chance to secure a

£7,500 award in each area. Full details, including how to apply, are available on Second Steps's

website: BSW Community Grants - Second Step Bristol.

With support from Wiltshire Together, 3SG and VAS Swindon, we are holding Q&A

sessions for each area to share more information about the BSW Community Grants

and answer any questions you might have about applying.

Click here to register for the Q&A and workshop session on Wednesday 19th November at 12 midday.

Applications for the fund close on 12 December 2025.
