DDC – Community Cohesion and Resilience Fund

Community Cohesion and Resilience Fund
 

 

Calling all Voluntary Sector Organisations!

 

The Community Cohesion & Resilience Fund will support local Charities, CICs and constituted Community Groups to deliver projects that build community relationships and work to prevent and counter harmful narratives.

 

We are inviting applications which seek to bring communities together and raise community awareness and support. The fund will support projects that deliver outcomes in at least one of the following four themes:

 

  • Brings communities together to improve cohesion and reduce divisions in places facing the worst extremism challenges.

 

  • Improves the capability of places to tackle the extremist narratives and ideologies that are driving our communities apart.

 

  • Improves local partnership approaches to supporting community resilience by funding projects to strengthen ‘bridging’ social capital in at-risk places.

 

  • Improves the capability of places to respond to periods of community tensions through initiatives that strengthen community connections, promote unity and shared values.

 

Applications are welcomed from community organisations and groups including:

  • Registered Charities
  • Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIO)
  • Community Interest Companies (CIC)
  • Social Enterprises
  • Constituted Voluntary/Community groups
  • Constituted Sports Clubs/groups
  • Constituted Youth Clubs/groups
  • Constituted School related groups e.g. PFTA
  • Constituted Church/Faith groups

 

The scheme is now open, and will close on Wednesday 26th February 2025 at 5pm.
