Race Equality Budget
The County Council has a small fund, which is intended to assist Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in one off projects which would not normally be considered within other funding areas of the Council. The fund particularly seeks to support and empower BME communities within Warwickshire. Only one application can be considered from any organisation.
Priority will be given to:
- projects that support the needs of new and emerging BME communities such as new ethnic groups settling in the County and/or asylum seekers, refugees, gypsies and travellers.
- supporting the needs of especially vulnerable BME groups such as women, people with disabilities, isolated communites, young and older people.
- focusing on researching the changing needs of BME communities or the needs of new and emerging communities.
- making links between different communities to encourage community coheshion.
The upper limit on grant applications is £5,000. Funding will be allocated on the basis of the quality of bids across Warwickshire, rather than dividing the money between the districts.
