Equality and Diversity Community Fund - June 2021

Sorry! The applications window for the Equality & Diversity Community Fund has now closed. Thank you. 

Each year we organise a range of events and projects to celebrate and promote equality and diversity within the borough.

Charities and community groups play an important role in delivering these events. One of the aims of the Borough Manifesto is greater community cohesion and ensuring that change in our community is resident led.

The Equality and Diversity Community Fund will allow local charities and community groups to take a greater role in delivering events related to the Barking and Dagenham Equality and Diversity Calendar, creating new and engaging projects that will benefit our residents. These projects should promote social inclusion, celebrate diversity, and support equality through providing opportunities for people with protected characteristics.

We are pleased to now open up applications again, inviting you to apply for funding to hold an event for any Equality, Diversity and Inclusion event, in particular for Black History Month (October), Diwali (November), International Day of Persons with Disabilities and Christmas (December).

As Covid-19 restrictions will be lifted in June, events will be able to take place in person with social distancing and safety measures in place. (pending Government guidance at the time of your event)

Applications for the fund will close Wednesday 30th June 2021.
