Equality and Diversity Community Fund - February 2024

Sorry, the application window has now closed.

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 allows 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 events/projects should promote social inclusion, celebrate diversity, and support equality through providing opportunities for people with protected characteristics.
