The Sir Bernard & Lady Schreier Foundation

The Sir Bernard & Lady Schreier Foundation Grants

One-off grants, usually £500 to £5,000, for UK charities supporting people facing mental health issues through direct provision of services. Priorities are young people (including children) affected by mental illness, all those affected by mental illness, and helping mental health charities with prevention, early intervention and wellbeing. Trustees are particularly keen on small and medium-sized local and community-based charities, and usually fund up to 50% of a project's cost. Trustees meet quarterly in January, April, July and October.

Who can apply

grants are usually one-off and usually fund up to 50% of the cost of a proposal, but in certain circumstances up to 100%.

What it will not fund

  • Projects with a political element
  • Sponsorship and general fundraising appeals or circulars
