New Neighbours Grant Funding

Near Neighbours brings people together from communities that are religiously and ethnically diverse, so that they can get to know each other better, build relationships of trust and collaborate together on initiatives that improve the local community they live in.

Grants between £500 and £4,000 are available and the final deadline for applications is Friday 21st February. Applicants will likely be notified of the outcome of their application by mid-late March.

Grant priorities: ​

• Supporting the integration of migrants and refugees and developing a positive narrative about integration and immigration​

• Supporting women who face barriers or who are underrepresented in civic leadership​

• Supporting young people, especially those who are disenfranchised and vulnerable to grooming e.g. to extremism, gangs, through engagement in positive and healthy activity​

• Promoting cohesion through linking up isolated or segregated communities ​
