Previous WaMH in PC Bursary Winners

Following the announcement of our latest WaMH in PC Bursaries winners we thought it would be interesting to provide you with a full list of our previous winners.

Since the programme's inception in 2003 there have been 24 recipients (including this year's two successful applicants who you can find out more about from last week's Winners of 2013 WaMH in PC Mental Health Bursary Programme Announced blog post on this site) who have each received up to a maximum of £3,000.

This year we decided to award this sum to projects which encourage innovation in dementia care, in the local delivery of Part 1 of the Mental Health (Wales) Measure and raising awareness of mental health or well-being issues.
