Men's Health Community Fund - DHSC Funding Stream

This grant funds community projects that improve men's health in England. It is part of a £6.3 million initiative run by DHSC, Movember, and People's Health Trust. You can apply for between £75,000 and £125,000. The fund targets two groups: men aged 35 to 59 who are unemployed or economically inactive, and men aged 60 and over going through major life changes like retirement or bereavement. Projects must be delivered in trusted community settings and tackle the wider social causes of poor health. The deadline to apply is 15 July 2026.

This grant is for community and voluntary sector organisations in England that already do meaningful work with men. Your organisation must be formally set up with at least three unrelated trustees or directors. It is not for businesses, individuals, or organisations with no existing track record of working with men.
