A better Medway

Suicide Prevention Hope Fund 2025

The Hope Fund has been launched to support mental health and suicide prevention in Kent and Medway.

The fund has been set up by the Kent and Medway Suicide Prevention programme, a partnership of Kent County Council (KCC), Medway Council and NHS organisations. 

Local groups, such as charities and schools, can apply for a grant of up to £1,000 to run a project or event that promotes the theme of hope.

The successful projects and events will be used as a warm up to the national suicide prevention initiative, the Baton of Hope Tour visiting Medway, Maidstone, Canterbury and Thanet later this year.

The deadline to apply for a grant is 6pm on Tuesday 15 April 2025.

You can find out more and apply for a grant on KCC's website.
