• Help towards community based projects/groups
• Building modifications
• Activities

If in doubt, just ask! We’ve tried to make the grant process simple and quick. Families and community groups are positively encouraged to apply. Your application will be confidential and you should receive a definite answer from us within 28 days.

Need help but think you’re not eligible?

We’re only allowed to give grants to people who are receiving, or have received, help from Plymouth area mental health services. If you’re at all concerned about your child’s emotional and behavioural difficulties, you need to talk to one of the following first:

• The SENCO or Parent Support Advisor at your child's school
• Your GP, who can make a referral to CAMHS
• The Plymouth Parent Partnership. Visit their website: loads of links to services for parents & carers
