Community Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund Awardees Announced🎉

We’re proud to share that community groups across Clackmannanshire have received vital support through the Scottish Government’s Community Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund.

As our Chief Officer Anthea Coulter says: “This fund demonstrates the difference that even small amounts of funding can make to support people before they reach a crisis, and therefore prevent costly interventions at a later stage.”

A total of 59 organisations across Clackmannanshire and Stirling will benefit, with projects tackling isolation, supporting mental wellbeing, and strengthening grassroots community action.
