Kyra is one of seven organisations set to benefit from a combined total of £250,000 across two years to help them develop innovative initiatives that can improve the lives of people experiencing serious mental ill-health in York. The funding comes from the Community Mental Health Transformation Grant which was set up to support voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in York to deliver new ways of supporting people in their local communities.

The grant, which is managed by York CVS on behalf of the York Mental Health Partnership and the Connecting our Cities Partnership, will support our ‘ROSE (Reaching Out, Supporting, Empowering) Growing project’. This offers an early intervention programme for young women aged 18-26 who are at risk of or recovering from serious mental illness, delivered through drop-in group sessions, wellbeing courses and counselling.

For more information about ROSE, contact Sherrie Wood sherrie@kyra.org.uk
