**As it prepares to close, [Catalyst](https://www.thecatalyst.org.uk/) is reopening
its wellbeing support bursary fund to a wider audience.**

It offers **up to £300 per person** for mental and emotional health support. Originally
available only to people in its network, it has now expanded it to anyone working
in tech justice “to help resource your care, not just your output, so you can continue
the work for the long haul”.

The fund, which holds a total of £6,000, was created to recognise the overwhelming
demands of both work and life. The bursary was created to align with Catalyst’s 
values of love and equity and was reopened “in light of the 2024 racist riots and
the continued rise of violence and unjust political decisions targeting racialised
and minoritised people globally”.

Applications for up to £300 are processed on a rolling basis and are open to both
new and previous applicants.

The [Wellbeing support bursary fund](https://thecatalystwiki.notion.site/) will 
close on Friday 20th January 2026, or when the £6,000 is depleted, whichever comes
sooner.

Applicants are advised that the payments may be considered taxable and should seek
professional accounting advice.
