The South Yorkshire Green Social Prescribing Grants Programme is intended to support community groups, social enterprises and charitable organisations across the region where small amounts of funding can make a real difference.

The key aim of the programme is to tackle and prevent mental ill-health, and funding will be available to groups based in South Yorkshire who can offer 'green' and 'blue' activities to people with a variety of identified mental health needs.  This will range from those with low level emotional and psychological needs, for example loneliness, worry and low mood, to people with mild to moderate diagnosed mental health need, such as mild depression and anxiety, to people with severe and enduring mental health conditions, who may need support in their recovery and to prevent relapse. 

Groups in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield can apply for up to £7,500from South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation (SYCF).

The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 27th May 2024. Funding decisions will be made by a special panel in mid-June, with money released in early July.Projects should complete in January 2025.
