Grant News

The North West Regional Strategic Migration Partnership (RSMP) has announced that the Healing, Mental Health and Wellbeing Grant Programme is now open for applications. The RSMP supports migration-related work across the North West, including councils, voluntary organisations and people seeking asylum.

The programme focuses on adults who are currently within the asylum process. Grants of £500 to £5,000 are available, including two grassroots expenses grants for individuals with lived experience of seeking asylum or coming to the UK as a refugee and who have a strong idea they would like to explore.

The funding will support ideas that improve healing, mental health, wellbeing and inclusion. Projects could:

• help people understand rights, entitlements and local health systems;
• create safe spaces for LGBTQI+ people seeking asylum;
• support people to re-engage with study, employment or community life;
• strengthen faith or diaspora voices in service design;
• support pregnant people seeking asylum.

Constituted non-profit groups and organisations can apply. The fund is intended to benefit adults seeking asylum, including those navigating local services, waiting for decisions, or preparing for next steps after a decision.

Applications are open now and must be submitted by 23:59 on  2 July 2026.
