Momark CIO

Momark funds projects that foster mental health outcomes for Wandsworth residents. This includes direct therapeutic services, community and peer support, advocacy, practical assistance, recreational activities, early intervention, recovery support, and social inclusion. The emphasis is on preventative, co-produced efforts that build resilience. All funded activities must exclusively benefit the London Borough of Wandsworth, and the funder prioritises innovative, place-based interventions that address gaps in statutory provision. Costs such as project or core expenses are supported, though large capital grants are excluded.

Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities, community groups, and small to medium local organisations delivering clear benefits within Wandsworth. While there is no geographic base restriction for the applicant, activities must impact the London Borough of Wandsworth exclusively. Large national charities without strong local ties are unlikely to succeed. Beneficiaries are Wandsworth residents, and the funder prioritises organisations that understand the local mental health ecosystem and can demonstrate community-driven impact.

Momark does not fund large capital grants, emergency relief, or activities that take place outside the London Borough of Wandsworth. It avoids supporting large national charities that lack strong local connections, and organisations that do not directly serve Wandsworth residents or complement NHS mental health priorities.

Momark makes grants for both project and core costs, and welcomes unsolicited applications. It places a strong emphasis on building long-term local relationships and blending its hospital legacy with modern grant-making, connecting across the NHS, voluntary sector, and lived-experience voices. Funding is directed through its Mental Health Community Fund, supporting innovative, place-based interventions.
