Movember is inviting expressions of interest from voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations in England through the Men’s Health Community Fund (MHCF).
The programme will support community-led, non-clinical initiatives that improve the mental health and wellbeing of young men aged 16 to 35 by strengthening social connection and encouraging earlier help-seeking.
Priority will be given to organisations working with young men who face barriers to accessing support, particularly those experiencing poverty, social isolation, or other disadvantages.
A total of £3 million is available to fund up to 15 organisations, with grants of between £150,000 and £300,000 available for projects lasting up to three years.
Eligible activities include peer-led groups, early fatherhood or family programmes, sports, gaming, creative arts, nature-based activities or faith-based peer support groups.
This funding is part of a wider programme delivered in partnership by Movember, the UK Government and the People’s Health Trust. The Men’s Health Community Fund (MHCF) has three separate funding streams; this call for expressions of interest relates to Movember’s stream only. Applicants may apply to one stream only.
The deadline for expressions of interest is 15 July 2026, with full applications due by 31 August 2026.
