The Kristina Martin Charitable Trust Opens New Mental Health Grant Rounds

Registered Charity No. 249913

The Kristina Martin Charitable Trust (KMCT) has announced the opening of its 2025 funding rounds, with a strong focus on improving mental health and wellbeing across the UK and internationally.

The Trust supports UK-registered charities that have at least three unrelated trustees and clear charitable aims. Organisations must have a core focus on supporting mental health and wellbeing and be able to demonstrate measurable impact and knowledge-sharing within the sector.

1. Breaking the Link Between Homelessness and Poor Mental Health

KMCT recognises the deep connection between homelessness and mental health challenges. Grants will support charities that provide accommodation and mental health support for people experiencing homelessness, and can demonstrate measurable impact and knowledge transfer.

Total funds available: up to £100,000.

2. Reducing the Effects of Social Media on Mental Health

Funding is available for charities addressing the negative impact of social media on young people’s mental health. Projects may include community engagement, youth-led initiatives, policy influence, or primary research.

Total funds available: £100,000 (up to four grants, max £50,000 each).

3. Reducing Social Isolation

Grants will support charities operating community hubs that improve social inclusion, reduce loneliness, and provide mental health activities. Applications should demonstrate positive change and volunteer engagement.

Total funds available: up to £100,000.

4. Improving Mental Health Outcomes for Children and Young People

Funding is available for charities improving early identification of mental health concerns and providing training, activities, and programmes that build resilience among children and young people.

Total funds available: up to £100,000.

How to Apply

Applications should outline how the project aligns with one of the four themes, how impact will be measured, and how learning will be shared across the sector.
