Fostering Good Relations – Community Events Fund
The Equality and Diversity Community Events Fund has been developed to support community organisations and charities to deliver events which celebrate and promote equality, diversity and inclusion within the borough. The aim is to foster good relations within the community and build stronger community cohesion.
Events should be linked to the Council’s published Equality and Diversity Calendar and to the aims of the Council’s Core Purpose, with particular emphasis on supporting its most vulnerable residents.
