Funded programmes
How this work gets paid for
A great deal of our community work is paid for by a funder rather than by the group taking part. Here is who, and what it buys.
European peace funding
We have successfully secured European funding through PEACE I, PEACE II and PEACE III, and continue to work within the current generation of peace funding programmes.
That funding is what allows a community group with no budget to access experienced mediators, and a family in a housing estate to get help without paying for it.
Programmes and projects
Some of the work this funding has supported.
Dialogues About Race and Ethnicity
Facilitating conversations about cultural, racial and ethnic diversity in Northern Ireland, in partnership with Bryson Intercultural.
Building Relationships in Communities
Active in over 80 locations across Northern Ireland, delivered with the Rural Development Council and the Housing Executive to put good relations at the heart of social housing.
Growing local capacity
Running since 2001, creating opportunities for people working in community relations to develop facilitation, advanced group work and training skills.
The Housing Executive service
Mediation covering approximately 89,000 tenants — neighbour disputes, anti-social behaviour, and racist and sectarian attacks.
