6 <strong>AVA</strong> | <strong>September</strong> 20<strong>22</strong><br />
Following the successful delivery of the first round of the<br />
Community Mental Health & Wellbeing programme by<br />
Third Sector Interfaces across Scotland in 2021/<strong>22</strong>, a further<br />
£15 million for Year 2 of the Fund was announced on 7th May<br />
20<strong>22</strong>. This funding reflects the importance placed on community<br />
support as part of our overall mental health infrastructure and<br />
the commitments given by Scottish Ministers to increase direct<br />
investment, in both the NHS Recovery Plan and this year’s<br />
Programme for Government.<br />

<strong>AVA</strong> will have £639,855.99 for distribution to groups and<br />
organisations across Aberdeenshire by the 31st March 2023<br />
where projects supported during this round of funding must be<br />
complete by 31st March 2024. <strong>AVA</strong> worked hard to build robust<br />
partnerships with the previous round of the fund and we aim to<br />
build on that experience with our assessment teams comprising<br />
of <strong>AVA</strong> staff and a small number of external, public sector, third<br />
sector and lived/living experience panel members working within<br />
cognisant areas. We are particularly keen for those with lived and<br />
living experience to be part of that process to ensure the funds<br />
are reaching the right places.
