Please see the reports below which have been published, both relating to the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults - the Independent Evaluation Report for Year 1 and the Monitoring and Reporting Summary for Year 2.

Both reports are very positive about the reach and delivery of the Fund and there is a wealth of good practice and learning highlighted throughout which will inform Year 3 of the Fund. There are case studies throughout the evaluation report which are also grouped separately in a standalone document and these will provide a useful source of impacts on mental health and wellbeing for a range of groups/policy areas.
