The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) would like to set up a grant fund to support voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that work to prevent suicide, including supporting their ability to continue to meet increased demands or needs for their services as a result of COVID-19. The grant fund will be between £4m and £5m (final amount TBC), minus the cost of the administration service. The grant fund is for 2021/22 only. The suicide prevention policy team within DHSC does not have the capacity or expertise to deliver this grant fund to this timeframe and is therefore seeking a grant administrator to administer this fund, in full, on the Department’s behalf.
