  6. Improving Londoners’ Mental Health We can fund work addressing mental health needs of : • depression amongst older people. • children and young people and their families and carers. • homeless people, transient people and rough sleepers. • prisoners, ex-prisoners and others in contact with the Criminal Justice System. • “trauma” amongst refugee and asylum seekers. • Resettlement support for people with mental health issues living independently or in supported accommodation.

  8. Do’s and Don’t’s • We won’t be your largest single revenue funder • We don’t fund new and emerging groups • Track record and accounts • Allow enough time • Complete and double check the application form • Send what we ask for • Don’t use jargon • ‘Fallow period’ for existing grant holders • Monitoring and evaluation requirements • Are all your statutory returns up to date ? • Seek help and advice – don’t be afraid to ask !
