Head to Toe Grants for CPFT

Head to Toe Charity is proud to support projects across CPFT. Applications for funding must be over and above the existing NHS provision and must demonstrate, or ultimately contribute to the benefit of patients. 

Please be aware that Head to Toe cannot fund grants for individual staff or patients, and cannot provide financial assistance/aid. However, please contact the charity team which can signpost you to other organisations that provide this support. 

Grants Information

We have changed the way you can apply for a small grant from Head to Toe.

We will now have three rounds of funding each year.

We will invite you to apply for funds in April, August and December. Each round will stay open for one month. Therefore, the round in April will open on 1st April and will close on 1st May.

We will then review all applications communicate our decision and aim to distribute funds or purchase items within the following month.

Round opens                     Round closes                     Grant completed by

1st April                    →       1st May                    →      end of June

1st August                →       1st September          →      end of October

1st December           →       1st January              →       end of February

Our criteria will remain the same.

  • We cannot replace or purchase something that should be paid for through core NHS budgets. This includes office equipment needed by CPFT staff to deliver their roles or equipment that fulfils a specific need.
  • We actively encourage all staff wellbeing initiatives and can consider funding for yoga/mindfulness sessions for your teams or art and creative activities. We cannot fund social activities or room hire charges.
  • Regarding staff areas – we would be happy to discuss your plans. We cannot fund electrical items such as toasters, air fryers or curtains and carpets. However, we can consider soft furnishings (cushions etc) plants and small storage solutions.
  • We will consider funding for garden spaces for patients and staff

Please be aware that we do not have a dedicated Trust budget, and our capacity to support projects depends entirely on donations and fundraising efforts.  We would actively encourage you and your team to consider fundraising for your project. We can support you and offer advice and opportunities.

If you have a project or idea that you’d like to discuss ahead of your application, please contact us: charity@cpft.nhs.uk.
