Sustaining Spaces Fund Accepting Applications

National Survivors User Network (NSUN) has announced a new fund which will enable the continuation of spaces designed for those of shared identity to come together and support one another’s wellbeing.

To be eligible to apply, groups must:

• Be in England.
• Be facilitating community spaces where people with shared identities and experiences come together in support of one another’s wellbeing.
• Be benefitting people or communities who live with mental ill-health, trauma and distress.

Applicants can request grants of £500 to £1,000 for costs associated with sustaining their spaces. This could include:

• Costs for Zoom or other software subscriptions.
• Rent for space.
• Tablets or laptops.
• Refreshments and food for meetings.
• Masks or other PPE.
• Materials for activities (eg, art supplies).
• Publicity costs.
• Volunteer and group member expenses (eg, travel costs).

Priority will be given to groups that are by and led for young people (aged 18 to 25), LGBTQ+ people or people from racialised communities.

The deadline to apply is 5pm on 16 September 2022.
