The ‘see me' Local Grant Scheme and Equality Fund aims to give Scots the chance to tackle stigma at a local level and make a real difference in their community.
 In order to encourage and support new ideas 'see me' are launching this year's Local Grants Scheme and a new Equalities Fund with for groups across Scotland to fight stigma in their local area.
'see me' are looking for any initiatives that are new and innovative, sparking awareness of the stigma often associated with mental ill-health as well as proactively working to conquer it.
The Local Grant Scheme aims to encourage local organisations to take a lead in changing public attitudes and behaviours towards people with mental health problems. Projects must be led by people with lived experience of mental ill-health.
The Equality Fund, aims to tackle the mental health and stigma issues faced by equality groups whilst celebrating diversity and promoting equality for all. Projects must be led by people with lived experience of mental ill-health and who also experience inequality due to their gender, race, faith, sexuality, disability or age.
The deadline for applications is 1st September 2011. For more information please go to the 'see me' Local Grants Scheme webpage.
