Our contribution
We fund innovation and scale
We make grants to support innovative solutions and activities which help prevent poor mental health, and also those which intervene early at the first sign of problems. Scaling up effective solutions is critical to meeting the level of need and we look for effective projects which have potential for much greater impact.
We want to advance understanding
We want to fund work that increases understanding of what is effective, and then share what we and others learn to advance widespread confidence in what works. We continually learn from both frontline charities and researchers, and we seek to bring those worlds closer together for greater translation of effective solutions.
We partner for the long-term
Addressing better mental health for young people will take time and so we build long-term relationships with leaders and organisations who share our ambitions for change. We offer support to organisations in the field to become stronger, more effective and more capable of responding to the scale of need.
Working together
We believe in the power of collaboration to shape solutions and strengthen the sector. We use our learning and networks to bring the sector together to build coherence and confidence in the field and to influence positive change.
Very few people now doubt the importance of mental health and illness to individuals, families and society. What makes the Prudence Trust different is that they want to help build the evidence to decide what to do and, what not to do.
