Highland Third Sector Interface (HTSI) is an independent charity on a mission to support, encourage and inspire work with community groups, clubs, charities and other Third Sector Organisations throughout Highland.
The Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults - £143,000 extra funding for Highland
In 2025, we distributed Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund (CMHWF) Grants to support community-led initiatives delivering prevention and early intervention. These projects are vital in tackling loneliness, improving mental health, and building resilience across Highland communities.
However, demand far exceeded available resources, leaving many strong applications unfunded. We are therefore grateful to the Scottish Government for providing an additional £3 million investment across Scotland, which translates to approximately £143,000 for Highland.
This extra funding allows us to revisit previously unfunded applications and offer more groups a chance to modify their proposals for single -year projects. We have already invited revised applications from those next eligible groups, and final allocations will be confirmed in 2026, when we produce our 2025-26 CMHWF Closing Report.
Poverty in Highland: Experiences of the Third Sector - Report now Available
January 2026
Thank you to all our members who helped to gather evidence for this report, which we are delighted to publish now in its final form. The report addresses ongoing challenges in the Highlands, where complex benefits systems, centralised service design, digital exclusion, and stigma contribute to poverty and hinder access to support. As public services withdraw, third sector organisations face growing responsibilities but struggle with short-term funding, administrative pressures, and recruitment issues, jeopardising their sustainability.
The report can be read by clicking the button below.
