A new £75,000 Lincolnshire Suicide Prevention Strategy Grant fund has been launched to support suicide prevention initiatives in Lincolnshire.
Community groups will be able to apply for grants of up to £25,000 to deliver community-led projects focused on reducing suicide risk and enhancing mental health support.
The Lincolnshire Suicide Prevention Strategy Grant Fund aims to:
- Reduce the risk of suicide: Fund projects that have a measurable impact on reducing suicide risk within Lincolnshire
- Increase Access to Support: Projects that enhance access to mental health resources, crisis intervention, and support services for individuals at risk of suicide or self-harm are encouraged to apply
- Support High-Risk Groups: Targeted efforts to reach and support high-risk populations are a priority for this fund
- Raise Awareness and Education: We aim to promote awareness, reduce stigma, and educate communities on recognising the signs of suicidal behaviour and the importance of mental health
- Innovate Prevention Strategies: Innovative approaches to suicide prevention, including the use of technology, peer support, and community-based interventions, will be highly valued
- Build Capacity and Sustainability: Strengthening the capacity of organisations to deliver effective suicide prevention services and create sustainable, long-term impact is essential
Shine Lincolnshire will administer the fund. Shine Lincolnshire is a charity that support people with poor mental health.
