The aim of the Fund is to address disadvantages, notably by supporting causes which are less likely to raise funds from public subscriptions or statutory sources. They support work at a community level.Current funding priorities are:- Asylum Seekers and Refugees: support organisations and projects which provide essential services; which help meet their needs; and which support their integration within the wider community.- Penal Affairs: support work "through the door" where organisations go into prisons with projects and support to help prisoners (especially women) cope and/or maintain family bonds and to be better able to resettle positively when released. Also support post-release projects which support positive resettlement and a reduction in the likelihood of reoffending.You cannot apply if you are currently a grant holder and your grant is not due to end until 2024.
