Mental Health Northants Collaboration
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Mental Health Northants Collaboration supports VCFSE organisations working on mental health, learning disability and neurodiverse services, with Northamptonshire as its priority, so work in those themes and that area is the closest fit.
- Its annual report shows £1,690,992 paid out, but it gives no grant range, so a grant writer should ask the contact the charity shows what amount would suit before setting a figure.
- No application process is published, so a short enquiry to that contact is the sensible first step rather than a formal submission.
- The charity works through joint planning with its members and collaboration on grants and contracts, so the approach seems more relationship-led than open, and a request is best framed around service gaps the organisation can help address with others.
- Organisations whose work falls outside these themes are unlikely to fit.
