Side by Side Grant Scheme opens

Mind Cymru are working in partnership with Diverse Cymru to give out small grants to community groups, led by and for people from Black, Asian, and Minoritised backgrounds and young people (aged 18-25).

We are looking to fund groups that meet the following criteria:

• Groups meet in the community to support each other’s wellbeing

• Based in Wales

• Groups are led by and for people from Black, Asian, and minoritised ethnic communities or young people (aged 18-25)

• We are looking to fund groups based in the community to carry on doing what you already do, or for new activities or work.

You can apply for up to £500 for things that you need to run your group. This could be:

• Resources for your group

• Venue hire

• Training for your group

• Equipment

• Guest speakers

• Food and refreshments

• Marketing materials, such as leaflets or posters

You will need to spend the money in 6 months, by the end of September 2022.
