We know that the coronavirus pandemic has had a detrimental impact on the mental health and wellbeing of some of our residents. Greenham Trust and West Berkshire Council have partnered to create a new fund to support mental health and wellbeing.
The Surviving to Thriving fund is aimed at all not-for-profit organisations operating in West Berkshire and will provide varying sizes of grants (from £500 up to a maximum of £30,000) that will help them to carry out their activities (possibly online), make one-off purchases or set up new initiatives to help to mitigate the impacts of Covid-19 on mental health and wellbeing.
