Tips for applying to mental health funders

Strengthen your mental health funding application by grounding your approach in recognised evidence-based methodologies such as CBT, trauma-informed care, or psychoeducation frameworks. Funders increasingly expect validated outcome measurement tools — specify whether you use PHQ-9, GAD-7, WEMWBS, or other standardised instruments to track participant progress, and explain how you collect and analyse this data. Demonstrate clear relationships with NHS and clinical pathways, showing how your service complements rather than duplicates statutory provision, and describe referral routes both into and out of your programme. Highlight meaningful involvement of people with lived experience in service design, governance, and delivery — this is now a baseline expectation rather than a bonus. Address clinical governance explicitly: explain your supervision arrangements, risk management protocols, and how you handle safeguarding disclosures and crisis situations. If your service has a waitlist, describe how you manage it ethically and what interim support you offer. Funders want to see that you understand the broader mental health landscape in your area, including gaps in provision that your project specifically addresses and how you avoid creating dependency on time-limited grant funding.
