Intervention & Impact

With grants made in 2020 and 2021 totaling $632,000, AfH promoted their mental health resources – digital training courses, support groups, and educational toolkits – to those most vulnerable during the Covid-19 pandemic. This provided nearly 9,000 people with critical mental health support. Those supported by AfH reported significant positive life changes as a result.*

Why it matters

Mental illness and mental health struggles are a daily reality for millions of people around the world. Covid-19 exacerbated the problem, with 19 million adults in the UK reporting high anxiety levels.*
