Perinatal mental health and parent-infant relationship support grants
This funding programme is closed to new applications.
We are offering grants of up to £30,000 to organisations that support pregnant people, their partners, and their families with children under the age of 2. Only organisations that deliver services through volunteers (even partially) are eligible.
We want the funds to support activities for parents affected by perinatal mental health whilst expecting a baby, or with children aged between 0 and 2.
If you have any questions about the grant, you can email phbusinesssupport@kent.gov.uk.
