The Ted Senior Foundation 2025 Community Grant

Introduction to the Fund

The Ted Senior Foundation (TSF) is committed to promoting good mental health, increasing awareness and supporting individuals affected by mental health challenges, including those bereaved by suicide.

To further our mission, we have established a new community grant fund to support charities, foundations, and causes aligned with our objectives. The aim of the grant is to empower smaller, community-driven organisations to implement initiatives that create lasting change for people in need.

The grant is designed to provide financial assistance to organisations working in local communities to improve mental wellbeing, raise awareness, and provide direct support to people affected by mental health issues.

The Funding Available

TSF has committed a total of £30,000 to be distributed among successful applicants. Individual grant amounts will vary based on the needs of the applicant and the strength of the proposal.

The minimum grant amount is £10,000.

Successful applicants may receive funding to support projects, initiatives, or services that:

  • Increase awareness and understanding of mental wellbeing and good mental health practices.

  • Provide direct support to individuals affected by mental health challenges.

  • Assist those bereaved by suicide.

The grant can be used for costs directly tied to the organisation’s mental health initiatives, such as venue hire, staff costs, and project delivery costs.
