Crisis mental health support for people who may not yet have a diagnosis can also be considered. You can ask for project or core costs, including staff salaries. Your group must have been running for at least three years, and your request should be no more than half your annual income. St Helens is a priority area.

Grants of up to £20,000 for established community organisations in the Liverpool City Region that support people affected by ill health, disability, old age or poverty.

The fund pays for project and core costs, including salaries and running costs. Your organisation must have been operating for at least three years, and the amount you ask for should not be more than half of your annual income. The whole Liverpool City Region is covered (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral), with priority for St Helens.
