The VAMHN is delighted to launch our Arts funding competition as part of our fourth year programme of activities. VAMHN’s focus for this fourth year of grant competition funding will be on collaborations that engage the wider public around violence, abuse and mental health. We are looking for innovative artistic projects with the potential for high-quality and original outputs, which generate new critical perspectives and inspire further discussion around violence, abuse, and mental health. We are especially hoping to see lived experience views included and valued.
Online applications will be accepted from 10am on the 23rd of November 2021. The deadline for applications is the 4th March 2022 at 5pm. Awards of up to £15k are available.

If you have any problems accessing the online application form please contact vamhn@kcl.ac.uk.
How to find collaborators for your project:
We recognise that people with lived experience, artists, and researchers are not always well linked. To help with this all parties will be able to advertise ideas for research or requests/offers of involvement using our LERA (Lived Experience, Researcher and Artist) forum, which can be accessed here.
We are also running two networking events to facilitate connections and introductions between members wanting to apply. Those wishing to attend will be asked to share basic information via a shared document, including a link to their online profile and preferred method of contact. This will allow artists and academics to learn about and connect with one another. Attendees will be invited to give short 3-minute presentations about their work.
Additional events we're running to help you apply:
The Network’s Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG) will host a webinar early in the grant call, outlining their experiences of involvement in research and their views on good practice. There will be an opportunity for an interactive Q&A session and to book a 15-minute slot to talk through your involvement ideas with the group. This will be held on the 17th January from 10.30am-12pm. To register your attendance follow this link.
