The Prudence Trust have up to £500k available for charities and community interest companies across the UK to support the delivery of high-quality early support hubs for young people aged between 11 and 25. This fund aims to support drop-in mental health hubs for young people aged 11 to 25 that are integrated within the local healthcare and voluntary sectors to maintain existing services, strengthen relationships with clinical partners, or add new services to their model. To apply, groups must meet the following criteria:
- They are a registered charity or community interest company (CIC) with an annual income of at least £1 million.
- The charity or CIC must run an early support hub in a physical space, open to young people aged between 11 and 25 who need support or guidance.
- The organisation must have experience running a hub for at least the past three years.
Partnership applications are welcome.
Funding can be used to support core costs that support the delivery of high-quality early support hubs, ensure that the model has a strong evidence base and quality assurance process, and ultimately get these hubs to a place where they can better leverage future funds. This can include:
- Staff time to deliver services.
- Training for staff or volunteers.
- Costs for evaluation or quality assurance of hub services.
- Costs supporting the development or strengthening of relationships with local clinical services.
