Our annual programme of bursaries offering small grants up to a maximum of £3,000 is now open for applications.

• Improve the experience of dementia patients and their carers
• Supporting the local delivery of Part 1 of the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010.
• Raise awareness of mental health or impact on mental wellbeing or improve mental health promotion

Applications are open to anyone with a link to Primary Care Mental Health in Wales and those able to demonstrate a clear and justifiable benefit in relation to the aims of a WaMH in PC bursary.

This year we have decided to open up the application criteria to specifically include projects aimed at dementia as part of our strategy to support the National Dementia Vision for Wales.

The document provides a long-term vision to ensure  Wales can best meet the challenge of an increasing number of people living with dementia across the country with further details in our Dementia section.
