2024/25 Winter Pressures & Warm Spaces VCFSE Opportunities – Expression of Interest for Short Term Funding

Lincolnshire Mental Health, Dementia, Learning Disabilities and Autism Alliance

Adult and Older Adult Mental Health Community Transformation Programme

NHS health and care system partners in Lincolnshire have allocated funds to work in partnership with voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector organisations.

They would like to hear from you if you are a VCFSE sector organisation that would like to bid for funding to support us in delivering the following ambitions this winter 2024/25 in Lincolnshire: supporting adults who may have a mental health or social care need to self-care or access alternatives when they do not require a GP appointment, A&E, emergency ambulance services or other physical health urgent care services:

  • Support adults with their mental health needs, including carers, through additional support to help them with their needs, especially if this means we can reduce the demands on our local NHS mental health services.
  • Additional interventions to those already provided by Wellbeing Hub, Night Light Cafes and Community Connectors within their Integrated Place Based Team (IPBT) localities due to increased demands, or specific needs over the winter period. (You can find out more about IPBT’s here https://www.lpft.nhs.uk/our-services/adults/integrated-place-based-team-ipbt)

If you think your organisation may be able to help people in your community over the winter months (Nov 2024 – end March 2025).

They need to hear from you!

Please complete the below application form for funding grants, which are available in two categories:

  1. Option 1 – Funding proposals up to £10,000 for winter pressures projects from VCFSE Organisations in Lincolnshire
  2. Option 2 – Funding proposals up to £10,000 for warm spaces per IPBT area from organisations within the VCFSE who currently host a commissioned Community Connector / Wellbeing Hub.

You can access the application form for Expression of Interest here.

If you need support to complete this application, please contact members of the Lincolnshire mental health team who will be pleased to assist you in your application:
