This programme will seek to address the needs of marginalised individuals and groups within the community, such as displaced persons, ethnic minorities, victims of the conflict, ex-prisoners etc.

It will seek to promote the capacity of these groups to participate in Civic Life Programme and work in partnership with key stakeholders to promote inclusion and integration.

Actions will facilitate cultural expression and enable others to experience and understand cultures which are new to them.

Juniper Consulting have been appointed to undertake a scoping exercise to inform development of this programme.

A number of Small Grants have also been available under this programme, with funding of up to £30,000 available per grant. Please note that calls for Small Grant applications are now closed.
