Now in its 17th year in Australia, Movember returns with its annual month-long fundraiser that challenges men across the country to grow a moustache for men’s health. The Grants Hub sat down to chat with our very own Justin Ballantyne about his newly formed ‘handlebars’ and his own personal reasons for getting behind the charity.
Funded by the QLD Mental Health Commission, the Stronger Community Mental Health & Wellbeing Grants support actions under the Queensland Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol Strategic Plan 2014-2019, which aims to improve the mental health and wellbeing of Queenslanders.
Grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded for innovative locally-led projects that:
Support social inclusion for those experiencing mental illness, mental health problems and problems related to alcohol and other drug use by fostering opportunities and removing barriers for individuals and groups to develop and maintain supportive relationships and a sense of community connection and connections to others
Support community participation by providing opportunities and removing barriers to undertaking activities which are meaningful, engaging and which enhance feelings of confidence and self-worth.
