The Wellness from Within grant is intended for projects that support the mental health and wellbeing needs of young people who are experiencing, or may be at risk of experiencing, disordered eating.
Grants of between £5,000 and £65,000 are available to local Voluntary and Community Organisations working with young people aged 14-25.
Eligible projects may involve:
- Initiatives that explore body image, exam stress, perfectionism, social media awareness, cooking and eating for health
- Workshops and/or campaigns to educate people about disordered eating and its associated risks
- Promotion and signposting of services and support available to young people
- Provision of early mental health support, including peer support and/or targeted outreach that is culturally and racially sensitive
- Provision of skills and sensitivity training to staff and volunteers running clubs and groups with young people
Successful applications will demonstrate that their project reaches young people from under-represented groups, such as:
- Young men
- Non-binary young adults
- Black young adults
- Those with bulimia, binge eating disorders, or history of dieting
- Young people with obesity
This online session will consist of a presentation from Young K&C with Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trus, followed by Q&A.
This meeting is for representatives of local voluntary and community organisations operating in Kensington and Chelsea. It is not open to members of the public.
