Key takeaways

  • Living Well UK puts its main emphasis on mental health, with a principal but not exclusive focus on the Midlands, and its listed organisational awards have supported listening services and healing circles, so a mental health organisation with an innovation angle is the clearest fit.
  • Its annual giving was £100,000 in its most recent reported year, according to the annual report, and the grant range is not stated, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
  • No application process is published, so the practical route is to get in touch through the contact shown and ask how it accepts requests before writing a full proposal.
  • Its published material sets out no general eligibility criteria or exclusions, so you should not rule your organisation out on that basis alone.
  • Nothing published says how competitive its giving is or whether it works mainly through existing relationships, so treat the first contact as the starting point.
